Fresh Chard – Colourful Variety with Robust Flavour
The Green Power Vegetable with a Mediterranean Soul
Chard combines tender green leaves with robust, colourful stalks – a true feast for the eyes and palate! Its flavour is reminiscent of a delicate blend of spinach and beetroot, with a slightly earthy and pleasantly spicy note. Whether as a gently steamed side dish, a refined quiche filling, or a colourful highlight in a pan – chard brings variety and vitality to your kitchen.
Why You Should Try Chard
- Robust Aroma: Spicy, slightly nutty, and with a pleasant bitterness – perfect for creative vegetable dishes.
- Rich in Vital Nutrients: Packed with vitamins K, A, C, iron, and magnesium – ideal for a balanced diet.
- Fresh from the Field: Regionally grown and processed immediately after harvest – for maximum freshness and short transport routes.
Chard belongs to the amaranth family and is a close relative of beetroot. Already in antiquity, it was popular as a medicinal herb and kitchen vegetable – before it was temporarily displaced by spinach in this country. Today, chard is celebrating its well-deserved comeback as an aromatic and nutrient-rich trend vegetable.
How to Succeed with Chard in Your Kitchen
The tender leaves cook quickly and are excellent for stir-fries, risotto, or as a filling for dumplings. The colourful stalks take a little longer, but develop their full aroma when steamed, braised, or baked in the oven. A squeeze of lemon or a hint of nutmeg turn chard into a culinary highlight.
