Surprisingly fun
Chard, a forgotten vegetable that deserves more attention in the kitchen. With its colourful stalks in red, yellow and white and its nutritious leaves, chard is not only attractive to the eye. It’s a healthy addition to your meals thanks to its mild, slightly sweet flavour. It has a firm texture that works both raw and cooked. It’s ideal for soups, stews or salads.
Opt for younger leaves in salads and older ones for cooking.
Store chard in the fridge and wrap it in a damp cloth to keep it as fresh as possible.
Remove the tough stalks and cut the leaves into strips or pieces. Chard can be enjoyed raw in salads or lightly sautéed or steamed.
Chard is grown both outdoors and in greenhouses. In the open field it develops naturally, while in a greenhouse the temperature can be carefully controlled. Both methods yield healthy, flavourful Swiss chard that’s packed with nutrients. Whether you choose field-grown or greenhouse, with BelOrta Swiss chard you’ll always have a fresh, top-quality product on your plate.
