Story: Mild & Mighty

Astro Arugula is the softer side of spice. With broad, tender leaves and a milder bite than its wild cousins, this leafy green brings a subtle peppery zing that builds gently as spring warms up, making it one of the first greens to grace your kitchen each season—and one of the easiest to love.

It’s an ideal pick for anyone who wants flavor without too much fuss. Bred by the late, great Dr. John Navazio—renowned seed saver and co-founder of the Organic Seed Alliance—Astro was created with both home cooks and market growers in mind (enter Palate Patch).

Add it to a sandwich, toss it in a salad, or drape it over a just-out-of-the-oven pizza. However you enjoy it, Astro is proof that not all stars burn hot—some just grow delicious.
