great info!
saw both the spinach vid aswell, i was wondering, why grow chard when you can grow spinach? isn't spinach better? which yealds more?
are fantastic but ounce for ounce the chard is the best bet if you have to choose. Here is the low down. Many people don't realize that the stem is very eatable, and full of nutrients, and delicious.
When sautéing just start the stems first because they are thicker and take a bit longer. You must understand the stem is the bulk (weight) of the plant. Except for the very lowest part of the stem, the rest is NOT to be thrown away. Where I live a small bunch of chard is $3.45.
