UPDATE: ARUGULA

February 4, 2025

Arugula supplies are rebounding as the Arizona/California desert growing regions experience a warming trend this week. Supplies are below-normal levels, but will sufficiently meet demand. Quality issues caused by recent freezing temperatures, including purple cast and yellowing will decrease in the coming 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
