Fresh Chard – Colourful Variety with Robust Flavour

The Green Power Vegetable with a Mediterranean Soul

Chard combines tender green leaves with strong, colourful stalks – a true feast for the eyes and palate! Its flavour is reminiscent of a delicate mix of spinach and beetroot, yet slightly earthy and pleasantly spicy. 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 directly after harvest – for maximum freshness and short transport routes.

Chard belongs to the amaranth family and is a close relative of beetroot. In ancient times, it was already 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 Prepare 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 makes chard a culinary highlight.
