Rainbow Chard

Chards are a close relative of garden beets and provide fresh greens all season from just one plant. They’re commonly known as “Swiss Chard”.

Chard leaves are green and lightly savoyed (crinkled) with stems of many colors including gold, pink, orange, purple, red, and white.  Their flavor is milder than ordinary chard and to a “chard-enthusiast”, each color may taste slightly different.

Chards are popular in Mediterranean cooking.  They have a slightly bitter taste but once cooked or sautéed with onions, the bitterness lessens and the leaves take on a more sweet taste.

Chards are high in vitamins A, K and C. They are also rich in beneficial minerals, dietary fiber and protein.
