Swiss Chard

Swiss chard has shiny green ribbed leaves, with stems that range from white to yellow to red, depending on the cultivar. We particularly LOVE to grow Rainbow chard whose colorful stems explain the name. Although some people find that swiss chard has slightly bitter taste, we find that when we cook or sautée mature chard leaves and stalks, their bitterness fades away, leaving a refined flavor which we find more delicate than that of cooked spinach. Fresh young chard can also be used raw in salads.
