At Fresh & Naked, we take a natural, unprocessed approach by skipping the industrial washing process, ensuring that you get rocket leaves in their freshest, most flavourful state.
Incorporating rocket salad into your daily or weekly meals can help provide essential vitamins, antioxidants, and natural nitrates, all while adding a delicious peppery kick to your dishes.
Packed with Nutrients to Support Your Health
If you’re looking for a nutrient-dense leafy green, rocket is an excellent choice. A 100g serving provides:
- Over 90% of your daily vitamin K – Helps maintain bone health and blood clotting.
- Nearly 50% of your daily vitamin A – Supports vision, skin health and immunity.
- High levels of vitamin C – Boosts immune function and collagen production.
- Folate and calcium – Important for cell growth and bone strength.
- Antioxidants – Protects against oxidative stress and inflammation.
With just 30 calories per 100g serving, rocket is a low-calorie, high-nutrient food that fits into any healthy eating plan. Including it in your meals regularly means you’re taking advantage of key rocket salad benefits that promote overall well-being.
How Rocket Can Supports Heart Health
Adding rocket salad to your diet is a simple way to improve cardiovascular health. Research from the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition highlights that the natural nitrates in rocket convert to nitric oxide, which helps:
- Lower blood pressure by improving blood vessel function.
- Enhance circulation by delivering more oxygen to muscles.
- Support overall heart health, reducing the risk of heart disease (British Heart Foundation).
If you’re looking to naturally support your heart, adding rocket salad to your meals a few times a week is a great choice.
Why Fresh & Naked Rocket Stays Fresher for Longer
Unlike many supermarket salads that go through industrial washing, our rocket leaves skip this process for a better-tasting, nutrient-rich and longer-lasting product.
Why does unwashed rocket make a difference?
- Preserves nutrients – Washing can strip away essential vitamins and minerals.
- Better flavour – No excess moisture means a stronger, peppery taste.
- Longer shelf life – Leaves stay crisp and fresh for longer.
- Reduces water waste – Factory washing requires large amounts of water that Fresh & Naked avoids.
By keeping our rocket salad unwashed, we ensure you’re getting the full benefits of this nutritious leafy green, straight from the farm to your plate.
Sustainably Grown for a Better Future
At Fresh & Naked we take a sustainable approach to farming, ensuring that our rocket is grown in a way that benefits both people and the environment.
Our farming methods include:
- Crop rotation and cover cropping to protect soil health (Centre for Ecology & Hydrology).
- On-farm reservoirs and wetland conservation to reduce water waste and protect biodiversity (Friends of the Earth).
- Protecting natural habitats to support wildlife and pollinators.
In choosing Fresh & Naked Rocket you’re supporting a farming system that respects nature while delivering the freshest, best-tasting rocket salad.
