I'm trying to find the source, however I read a while back that arugula (rocket) and green onion (chives/scallions) are two examples of plants that have not been selected for traits and are essentially the same as they were 1000 years ago. I recall the article (or maybe it was Nova?) going on to say that there were many more varieties of food plants in the same category, as an exception to so many which have been.
