Not soapy at all, to my tastes. "Bright lights" is the variety with all the
colors. I love it and plant plenty of it each year. It's just about the
perfect plant, IMO. It looks great, it tastes great, it keeps going in the
heat of summer, and lasts long into the fall. (I harvest individual leaves,
not the entire plant.)

Now cilantro--that's soapy!

cheers,

Chard to you :-) we also use it for spinach too. because we never
used to have that commonly. But now we can get bok choy and lots of
differents greens including real spinach.

Ohhhhhh, taste kind of soapy .. but at least they have them in
gorgeous colors now.. yellow, orange, pink, red and kind of blushes
between them. ;-)

Soapy? Have they bred the tannic flavour out? I've got a bunch of
those coloured ones patiently waiting for me to plant them out,
eventually ...

I was just going to plant it for winter. :-)

Darn, I've forgotten what that is in English.

I tried Bright Lights last year and the stalks were gorgeous in the
seedling tray but some of them turned white when I moved them
outdoors. Am I missing something in my soil? Maybe there was too
much sun or water? Any insight would be appreciated.
