Swiss
chard is a nutritious, leafy veggie that rivals kale and spinach for
one of the most nutrient rich foods on the planet. The leaves are the
most tasty but the stems can also be eaten and are similar in taste to
beet tops but can be slightly bitter. Chard is great raw in salads, wilted in soups, or sauteed for a great and healthy addition to any meal. To offset the bitter flavor add salt and sautee with lemon juice.
To keep swiss chard freshest wrap in a damp paper towel and place in a loose wrapped plastic bag in the crisper drawer. Use within 3-5 days. Do not wash until ready to prepare. You may trim down the stalk for easier storage.
