About our Rainbow Chard

Rainbow chard is a vibrant and nutritious leafy green, distinguished by its striking multi-coloured stems in shades of yellow, pink, red, and orange. A member of the beet family, it has a slightly earthy, mildly sweet flavour with a tender yet slightly crisp texture.

Origins & Seasonality

Originally cultivated in the Mediterranean, chard has been enjoyed for centuries and remains a staple in many cuisines, from Swiss and Italian to Middle Eastern dishes. It thrives in British gardens, particularly from late spring to autumn, making it a fresh and flavourful addition to seasonal cooking.

Cooking Tips

Sauté & Steam: Separate the stems from the leaves—chop the stems and sauté them first with garlic or onions before adding the leaves for a quick, delicious side.
Pasta & Risotto: Stir finely chopped chard into pasta dishes, risottos, or omelettes for a nutrient boost.
Wilt & Blend: Add to soups, stews, or even blend into sauces for an extra depth of flavour and colour.

Versatile, packed with vitamins, and visually stunning—rainbow chard is a must-have for any kitchen!
