Not long after the Lebanese Army began their attack, the Syrian Arab Army launched their own assault from
Jarjeer, hitting ISIL target within Lebanon's Beqaa province.
The salad bowl instantly lost its attraction last Monday when news broke that research by the American University of Sharjah (AUS) found locally grown salad greens, particularly
jarjeer or rocca leaves, to be heavily contaminated with the dreaded E.
coli contaminating rocca (locally known as
jarjeer), Sharif stressed that the study did not indicate whether the E.coli they found were pathogenic or not, as their previous laboratory investigations did not find any harmful bacterial strains.
As reported by Gulf News on Monday, bacteria levels in locally grown salad items, specifically jarjeer, were measured in a five-year research study conducted at the American University of Sharjah (AUS).
In the case of jarjeer, the bacteria could not be washed off.
coli contamination sequestered within the leaves of the locally grown popular fresh salad vegetable knows locally as
jarjeer (ccientific name rocket/rocca) and other salad greens, Dr Russells told Gulf News.
Do not eat
jarjeer and other vegetables grown or stored with it in stores.
And lest anyone believe Emirati cuisine is lacking in flavour, in Al Fanar's kitchen, the pungent scents of coriander, black pepper, nutmeg,
jarjeer (rocket) and onion fill the air.
