What does RUGOLA mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A peppery-leaved salad plant, better known in English as arugula or rocket.
Rugola is one of several spellings borrowed from Italian for the same leafy green, alongside arugula, arugola, and rucola, all naming the plant grown for its sharp, slightly bitter, mustard-like leaves. It belongs to the same family as cabbage and mustard, which explains the peppery bite that sets it apart from milder lettuces. Cooks add it raw to salads or wilt it briefly into warm dishes, valuing it precisely for the bite that other greens lack.
