Arugula Sylvetta was introduced to North America by Puritan settlers during the 15th century, but it did not become a popular green in American diets until the 1980s. Arugula Sylvetta has been a staple ingredient in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine since antiquity, and with an increase in immigration from these countries during the 1980s, the popularity of cuisines from this area also grew. As locals became familiar with the ingredients used in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine, interest in the delicate and spicy green grew in many different regions of the United States. Quickly, arugula sylvetta became a part of haute cuisine, showing up on plates at high-end establishments throughout the country. The popularity of arugula sylvetta remains strong, as does the demand for new and exciting ingredients in the culinary field. This led Fresh Origins to create Petite® Arugula Sylvetta™, an innovative creation challenging chefs to reimagine the way arugula sylvetta could be used on the plate.
Arugula Sylvetta is native to the Mediterranean region and has been harvested as early as the 6th century BCE. It was a common plant in ancient civilizations, where it was used for a variety of culinary, medicinal, and religious purposes. The greens were spread throughout Europe by the Roman Empire, where they quickly became popular in Italian and French cuisine, and then to North and South America by British Colonists, eventually naturalizing in temperate climates of the New World. Petite® Arugula Sylvetta™ was developed at Fresh Origins in San Marcos, California, the leading American producer of naturally grown microgreens and Petite® Greens since the mid-1990s.
