Chard

Chard is a brilliantly versatile leafy vegetable - a relative of beetroot, and with more chunky leaves and stem than spinach. It's delicious chopped into salads or pasta dishes, sautéd in butter or steamed and seasoned for a simple side dish. It's a staple of the market garden here at SOG, as we can cut and come again throughout the spring, summer and autumn, with chard growing through all but the harshest winter months. Depending on the time of year and what's looking the best on the field, this will be a bag of mixed chard or a white Swiss chard.
