I don't care for it too much...my father grows it in his vegetable garden, so I eat it when he serves it. But I don't buy it myself in the grocery store. I like spinach better.
I love chard lightly sauteed with shallots and white pepper then topped with a drizzle of sesame oil at the end. Put that on some rice and I am in heaven.
So delicious. I think swiss chard is the same thing, though I could be wrong. It's sweet and the stems come in a variety of colors - white, yello, red. Like kia, it's good sauteed - I make it
with some rasins and a bit of cider vinegar.
anniekim - swiss chard is the same thing. It's also known as Silverbeet, Perpetual Spinach, or Mangold, but I've actually never heard to it referred to as those three.
The flavor is more bitter than spinach, but not as bitter as arugula (in my opinion). it also becomes less bitter as you cook it.
It took me calling 6 different stores but I found it! The first 5 thought I was playing a teenager prank on them ("Yes, I was wondering if you carried chard") Will try it tomorrow.
I actually had some for dinner this evening - sauteed it in olive oil with loads of garlic, onion, lemon juice, chickpeas, lots of crushed red pepper and a bit of salt and pepper, served on
top of some brown rice... Mmm!

This soup ends up being a good source of three blood pressure-lowering minerals since the milk adds calcium and the potatoes deliver a dose of potassium, as well as magnesium.

no, seriously. what is it?
1Chard is leafy green that you need to cook - sauté, steam or put in soup. It is super tasty – better than cooked spinach.
2I've never had it. It's almost impossible to find here. I'd love to try it though.

4there is a posh sandwich place near my office that includes chard in their salad boxes, i love it!
5I'm going to google the nutrients. If it's good for me, I'll make it part of my veggie rotations.

7I have always heard it called "swiss chard"--or is that a different vegetable?
8How would those of you who like it describe the taste?
I've never heard of chard in my life until today...lol!

11sounds yummy!
Now when I get my check on Thursday I'm on a mission for some chard =)
12i don't know if i do or don't - i'm sure that i've had it but i can't remember specifically when that was...so i'm not 100% sure.

14Mmmmmm, I LOVE chard. I actually bought a bunch of it today when I stopped at the grocery on my lunch break.
15Too bitter!
16It's good, but I get massive amounts of it in my CSA box so I'm already tired of it this year.
17I love it, but I like lacinato kale even better.
18I dislike it.
19Never heard of it.
20It's great if you know how to cook it.
21I actually had some for dinner this evening - sauteed it in olive oil with loads of garlic, onion, lemon juice, chickpeas, lots of crushed red pepper and a bit of salt and pepper, served on top of some brown rice... Mmm!
22I chose what is chard but if it's what is on my mind then I adore it!
