Descripción
Swiss Ruby Red Chard (Beta vulgaris var. cicla) is a striking heirloom standard famous for its brilliant crimson-red stalks and glossy, dark green leaves with contrasting red veins. As delicious as it is beautiful, it delivers a tender, mild flavor similar to spinach, making it exceptional for fresh salad greens, sautéing, or steaming. Extremely resilient, heat-tolerant, and cold-hardy, it produces continuously from early spring through late autumn.
