Is arugula healthier raw or cooked? The leafy green can help reduce inflammation and more |

It's a healthy base for salads, a delicious topper for pizza, or even a replacement for fresh herbs in a pesto or green dip. But what are the benefits of eating arugula? It's full of beneficial plant compounds and inflammation-fighting antioxidants, making it an incredibly healthy part of the diet.

But is one healthier than the other? Find out if it's healthier to eat arugula raw or cooked. |
