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