Even without these yesteryear uses, the quietly fancy arugula can still offer many nutritional benefits, says dietitian Meenakshi Bajaj. People on blood thinners (post Covid complications or as part of a treatment protocol) should avoid arugula so as not to reverse the effects of the blood thinners. But you need to consume arugula in its raw form to get the vitamin C in it, she points out. Patients on diuretic therapy should avoid arugula to not counter the treatment. Apart from these plentiful benefits, it’s interesting to note that all parts of arugula are edible, notes Meenakshi.
