Cook's Note
Swiss chard is in the same family as spinach and beets. Its leaves are green, but the ribs and stalks can be a variety of colors -- white, red, yellow, and orange or sold together as "rainbow chard."
Hummm! This picture alone says it all. Sooooooo Good and Good for us. Give it a try and be surprised. Since we started eating vegies, we found some of them take a couple times before there taste grows on you. Marlene
