Rocket Greens
Arugula, the ubiquitous component of countless salads, could easily go unnoticed if you stumbled upon it in the wild. This leafy green shares striking similarities with your average garden plant, and the untrained eye could very well confuse it for an unwelcome garden intruder.
Fortunate enough to cultivate your own arugula? Guard it with your life! Some eateries have been known to slap on an extra charge for dishes featuring this leafy green, with some prices soaring as high as $15. Considering its humble appearance in nature, it’s hard to justify such an exorbitant price tag.
