Is Swiss chard the one that's related to the beetroot, or the other
which looks more like a brassica?

It's related to beetroot and has a broad central white rib.


I like the midrib cooked separately, but my children always resisted
it, though to my mind it's one of the blandest of vegetables. Is this
a common experience?


I've never eaten it - I was thinkin of red chard, which is one of my
favourite salad veggies. It looks like beetroot leaves - bright green with a
cerise stem.
