Green 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”.

Green chard leaves are medium green and savoyed (crinkled) with white veins and broad, white stems. 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.
