Green Rocket Salad

Rocket is such an amazing herb

I grew this Rocket in my herb garden and I can’t believe how much rocket I have to eat within the first month. Not only is it delicious but super healthy. I don’t have access to rocket then Iceberg lettuce, or Mesclun mix will do the trick.

From one little pack of seeds, I have enough rocket to make a salad almost every night. That’s why they call it rocket.

This is a perfect salad for your 7 day or 14-day Herbal DETOX (less the Feta) or use it on your Herbal SLIM with the Feta and alongside a piece of pan-fried fish.

Super Food – Herb Rocket (Eruca sativa)

1. Herb Rocket is a detoxifying, cancer-fighting superfood, is a member of the brassica family – this group is known for vegetables like cabbage, broccoli, and kale. This family is rich in compounds known as glucosinolates, which have shown anti-cancer effects.

This can help to prevent DNA and liver damage from carcinogenic substances. It is best to eat it raw to gain these benefits.
