A proper Swiss Chard with wide juicy stems and deep green, shiny leaves. A very different plant from our other varieties Fireworks and Verde da Taglia. We think of it as the European version of Pak Choi - a leafy green, bred for its crisp stems rather than its verdant leaves. For this reason it makes a great stir fry addition throughout the summer months when it's impossible to grow Pak Choi. It's a very generous green to grow - if you harvest individual stems, a couple of sowings will have you sorted for the year.

Sow: April (undercover) & July (outside or undercover) for continuous supply.
Plant: 4 weeks after sowing, or sow direct.
Harvest: Baby leaves in 6 weeks, big leaves in 8-10 weeks. Harvest outside leaves.
Kitchen: Eat baby leaves raw and cook older leaves - steam, sautee, or braise. Cook stems a little longer than leaves. Pairs with acid (lemon, balsamic vinegar, lime), fats (goats cheese, walnuts, coconut milk, butter), salty (olives, feta, parmesan), aromatics (chilli, nutmeg, dill, fennel, thyme).
