Red 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”.

Red chard has candy-apple red stems and the dark green wavy leaves have red leaf veins.

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.
