An annual plant from the Brassicaceae family, rocket Eruca sativa is well known for its use in salads and its characteristic peppery and spicy flavour. Known for being invigorating and stimulating, it was used as an aphrodisiac in antiquity, and its cultivation was banned in monasteries in the Middle Ages for this reason. Today, it is appreciated both for its strong flavour and its health benefits, due notably to its high glucosinolate content. Less well known, its seeds can be used to produce a carrier oil with very beneficial properties for hair.
