About Chard, swiss, cooked, boiled, drained, with salt

Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris subsp. cicla) is a leafy green with large, glossy, deep-green leaves and vividly colored stems that run from white through pink, red, orange, and yellow, the mix sold as rainbow chard. A close relative of the beet but grown for its tops rather than a root, it carries an earthy, mildly bitter flavor that mellows and sweetens as it cooks. It is remarkably nutrient-dense for so few calories, brimming with vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C, magnesium, and potassium.

Both parts of the plant are used: the tender leaves wilt down fast like spinach, while the crunchier stems want a little more time, so cooks usually start the chopped stems in the pan first. It is delicious sauteed with garlic and a squeeze of lemon, stirred into soups and frittatas, or braised until silky. Choose crisp, brightly colored bunches with unblemished leaves, and store Swiss chard loosely wrapped in the refrigerator, washing it only just before use.
