Chards

Chard -Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris, Cicla-Group and Flavescens-Group- is a green leafy vegetable. Chard, like other green leafy vegetables, has highly nutritious leaves, making it a popular component of healthy diets.Fresh young chard can be used raw in salads. Mature chard leaves and stalks are typically cooked -like in pizzoccheri- or sautéed; the bitterness fades with cooking, leaving a refined flavor which is more delicate than that of cooked spinach.
