Arugula supplies will remain limited next week. Prices are rising.
A warming trend is expected in the Arizona/California desert growing region through next week. Despite the optimistic weather forecast, arugula supplies will remain tight following low temperatures over the last three weeks.
- Arugula is temperamental to temperature swings, hot or cold
- Temperatures from 28˚F to 35˚F will:
- Slow plant maturity
- Turn arugula yellow
- Cause purple cast/shading on the edge and tips of leaves
- Reduce shelf-life due to dehydration and wilting; cell walls are damaged by freezing temperatures
