Apparently there is an acid in silverbeet (swiss chard) that is
bad for people with gout, and possibly for asthmatics. My
missus had an asthma attack after eating raw silverbeet,
but she doesn't have a problem when it is cooked. Just
something to think about if you use it for salads.
really? didn't know that!
i might see if that will work on my father in law...
just joking.
i love ruby chard and five-colour chard because it's just so utterly
beautiful to look at!! (and the baby leaves are delicious).
