SWISS CHARD SEEDS *Mixed Colors* (20 per Pack)

Chard (Beta vulgaris subsp. cicla), It is a leafy green vegetable often used in Mediterranean cooking. While the leaves are always green, chard stalks vary in color. Chard has been bred to have highly nutritious leaves at the expense of the root (which is not as nutritious as the leaves). Chard is, in fact, considered to be one of the healthiest vegetables available and a valuable addition to a healthy diet (not unlike other green leafy vegetables). Chard has been around for centuries, however because of its similarity to beets is difficult to determine the exact evolution of the different varieties of chard.

Stems in a rainbow of colors produce an abundance of healthy, leafy, dark green tops. The nutritious, mild-flavored greens are delicious steamed, sauteed or used like spinach in cooked dishes such as lasagne. The brightly colored plants are also highly ornamental.

These do great in a container or as a border plant.
