Ruby chard seeds

Swiss chard is an old heirloom that is popular in Mediterranean cuisine. In more recent years, it has increased in popularity due to its versatility, and high nutritional content. 
 
Swiss chard is related to rhubarb, and beets. The flavor has been described as a softer beet flavor while boasting earthy notes. It is slightly less bitter than spinach. Swiss chard grows in an array of colors. The stems are succulent and have a stunning ruby red color while the leaves sport an intense darker green color. Swiss chard can grow between 18 to 24 inches tall. It can tolerate light frosts, so this will be an early spring/fall crop. 
 
We grew these in little 1 gallon containers. They don't need much room to grow so you can use any use smaller containers you may have to grow these to save room in your garden. Make sure the container you choose is made of food-grade plastic. Things like milk containers, butter containers, etc. are all safe since they contained a food product.Use mature leaves for sautéing since they become more sturdy when they are larger. Use younger leaves for salads, smoothies, etc as the flavor is milder and the leaves are tender.
