Diplotaxis tenuifolia Euphoria – a biennial cruciferous salad plant, also known as wild rocket or guila. The leaves have an elongated shape, smooth surface, and bright green color; they are slightly cut and semi-erected in a rosette 20–25 cm high.
Euphoria has a wasby-nutty taste, sharper than indau, with a pronounced aroma. Due to its high content of carotene, B vitamins, iodine, and ascorbic acid, consumption of fresh leaves increases hemoglobin levels in the blood and helps eliminate 'bad' cholesterol.
The variety is considered mid-early: 35–40 days from germination to the start of harvest. Green yield reaches 3.2 kg/sq.m. The plant is resistant to cold and drought, making it suitable for growing in open ground, under film cover, or as a potted plant on a windowsill.
Euphoria is widely used as a fresh condiment: added to salads, sauces, spaghetti, and other dishes. Thanks to its sharp taste, it serves as an excellent accompaniment to meat and fish dishes, and is a useful dietary product that aids in weight loss and improved digestion.
