HOW TO HARVEST ARUGULA?
Timing
Leaf Harvest
Arugula is typically ready for harvest 3 to 4
weeks after planting when the leaves are young
and tender. Harvest in the morning for the best
flavor.
Use clean, sharp scissors or garden shears to cut
the outer leaves first, leaving the inner leaves
to continue growing. Cut the leaves at the base,
close to the soil.
Baby Leaf Harvest
Continuous Harvest
Arugula is a cut-and-come-again crop. Regularly
harvest the outer leaves, and the plant will keep
producing. This extends the harvesting period.
For baby arugula, harvest when the leaves are
small, about 2-3 inches tall. Snip or cut them
about an inch above the soil level.
Flowering Stage
Storage
The leaves can become bitter if arugula bolts and
starts floweringharvest before blooming for the
best taste.
Immediately after harvesting, store arugula in
the refrigerator. If the leaves are not consumed
immediately, store them in a plastic bag with
paper to soak the extra moisture.
