CHARD

All green or ruby-stemmed, this nutritious and versatile vegetable adapts to
many cuisines easily. Recipes sometimes suggest removing the ribs, but if
they are thin and tender, I just chop them up with the rest.
Swiss Chard
Swiss Chard, a member of the Chenopodiaceae crop family (which includes beets and spinach), is a cool season annual. Its lush, tangy leaves and brightly colored, succulent stalks make swiss chard a delicious, nutritious, and beautiful vegetable.
