Description
ClaimsChard is known for being solid and earthy, a substantial side or the humble basis of hearty soups. But the array of shades in the stems and veins of this variety make it a bit of a show-off. Shot through with magenta, orange, red, purple and golden yellow, rainbow swiss chard looks especially lovely in summer salads. Chard is an excellent source of vitamin C and the antioxidant beta carotene (a pre-cursor for vitamin A), plus it's a good source of potassium and magnesium.
