Description
Chard or Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris, Cicla-Group and Flavescens-Group) is a green leafy vegetable that can be used in Mediterranean cooking. In the cultivars of the Flavescens-Group, the leaf stalks are large and often prepared separately from the leaf blade. The leaf blade can be green or reddish in color; the leaf stalks are usually white, yellow, or red.
Chard, like other green leafy vegetables, has highly nutritious leaves, making it a popular component of healthy diets. Chard has been used in cooking for centuries, but because of its similarity to beets and vegetables like cardoon, the common names that cooks and cultures have used for chard may be confusing.

I used to grow Swiss Chard in Maine. But I never liked it as much as spinach and beet greens. Very detailed and vivid shot! L/F
