Do you use raw chard in your salad and is it just the leaf or
stalk too? Never considered eating it raw. Funny the ruts one can
get into.
Chard is the only green we grow down here in SW Louisiana as it is
the only one I actually enjoy eating. We use just the leaf in
salads but when we cook it we use stalk and all. Sometimes we just
graze on it as we go through the garden.
Although my grandfather always seemed to have chard in his garden,
we never ate the leaves - always just boiled the stalks and had them
with a white sauce with butter. Thanks

ok, so I'm a chard virgin....what does it taste like? how does it
compare to lettuce? Spinach? something else?
curious,
Kathi
I'm going to let someone else answer this, but it is milder than
spinach when cooked - I don't know about raw.
"Chard Virgin," hmmmn? Sounds like something you might find next to a
volcano ;-)
Hell, I thought it was funny :-(
I did too Wilson.
