Arugula is a plant that the great minds of our time once wrote about, which was banned by the Inquisition and which every glossy magazine considers it its duty to talk about. Arugula is difficult to buy, but easy to grow on a windowsill.

In my life, this green plays the role of a magic herb. What I mean? She always appears when I persistently think about her, and more often than not from the store, but in various roundabout ways.
For example, I first learned about arugula in my teens, it seems, from glossy magazines. Yes, it happened - I read and looked at the pictures, compared myself with mercilessly photoshopped models (at the time, of course, I didn’t know this!) and got wildly upset. What does this grass have to do with it? Yes, despite the fact that they wrote about it in every second such publication - they say, chew salads with arugula, and you will be just as beautiful in life.
Needless to say, my teenage brain immediately wanted to find this treasured herb and add it to my diet? I went around a couple of markets, but the sellers had not even heard of such a miracle. And then I was invited to a fashionable cafe for my birthday, and one of the dishes there was a salad with guess what? Yes, with her, dear! With arugula!
I liked her right away. It's a pity this meeting was short. Many years have passed since then - and these greens finally began to appear on our shelves. But the price for it was as if it were truly magical. To be honest, I wasn’t always ready to pay that much, but when I could, I bought it.
The most amazing thing is that arugula miraculously appeared in my field of vision exactly when I remembered it.
After all, you must admit, not in every store and not every day you can find this rare herb. At least that's how it is in my provincial town.
There were even more interesting coincidences. One summer I wanted arugula salad again. I didn’t even have time to get to the market when I was invited to visit a neighboring city, or rather, outside the city, to a dacha, or rather, to an entire plantation. Everything grew there! Well, it seemed so to me!
