Welcome to the summary page for FabulousFusionFood's Edible Flowers guide to Rocket along with all the Rocket containing recipes presented on this site, with 3 recipes in total.

This is a continuation of an entire series of pages that will, I hope, allow my visitors to better navigate this site. As well as displaying recipes by name, country and region of origin I am now planning a whole series of pages where recipes can be located by meal type and main ingredient. This page gives a listing of all the Cornish recipes added to this site.

These recipes, all contain Rocket as a major edible flower.

Rocket Eruca sativa, (syn: E vesicaria subsp sativa (Miller) Thell and Brassica eruca L; also known as Arugula, Eruca, Garden Rocket, Rocketsalad and Rucula) is an edible annual plant originating in the Mediterranean that's a member of the Brassicaceae (cabbage) family. It is an annual plant growing to 20–100 cm tall. The leaves are deeply pinnately lobed with four to ten small lateral lobes and a large terminal lobe. The flowers are 2–4 cm diameter, arranged in a corymb, with the typical Brassicaceae flower structure; the petals are creamy white with purple veins, and the stamens yellow; the sepals are shed soon after the flower opens. The fruit is a siliqua (pod) 12–35 mm long with an apical beak, and containing several seeds (which are edible).

It is used as a leaf vegetable, which looks like a longer leaved and open lettuce. In addition to the leaves, the flowers (often used in salads as an edible garnish, or deep fried as fritters), young seed pods and mature seeds are all edible.
