Swiss chard is a leafy green vegetable with large, crinkled leaves and thick, colourful stalks. Its a versatile ingredient in cooking, with both the leaves and stalks being edible. Swiss chard is quite similar to spinach but with a slightly more robust flavour. Young leaves can be eaten in salads, while larger leaves are often cooked. It can be sauteed, steamed or added to soups and stews.
