Chard
/Chard wins the prize for most the most beautiful green! Chard comes in a variety of colors; white, red, pink, orange, yellow! At Growing Lots we only grow a mix called bright lights rainbow chard, because we can’t get over how gorgeous all the colors are! Chard is very similar to beet greens, offering the same sweet earthy flavor. Use them in much the same way as you would kale; sautéed, as a creamed green, in soups, sauces, pasta’s or with your morning eggs! I’ve included the long lists of fabulous kale recipes that I easily scrounged up on a quick google search. The internet currently doesn’t celebrate chard in the same way as kale, but make no mistake they are interchangeable! Below I’ve linked up a few extensive lists that cover every angle of cooking with greens.
Pro tip: Do not let anyone tell you to discard those gorgeously colorful chard stems! People often recommend doing this with kale too, but I never discard kale stems either. With chard especially the stems are among the best part, and they add such a colorful pop!
