Swiss Chard |
||||||||||||
|

| Swiss
chard is in the spinach family, but it grows all summer (spinach can't
take the heat). That's the bunch of large, dark green leaves with a
long stem. The crunchy stem is delicious, so don't throw any part of
the chard away. The red and yellow stems are rainbow chard, and the
one with the broad white stem is called Argentata. They don't taste
very different from each other. The simplest way to prepare Swiss
chard is to chop it into 1" pieces and sauté in a hot frying pan
with onions and garlic in olive oil. You'll have many opportunities to
expand your horizons with chard this year—the plants are thriving.
Swiss Chard is high in vitamins A & C.
