UPDATE: ARUGULA

January 31, 2025

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
