Swiss Chart, while not a true spinach, this beautiful red-stemmed vining plant produces large, deep green leaves that have a remarkably “spinach-like” flavor. Often planted in the summer as an alternative to cool-season spinach, this variety flourishes in the heat. Equally good cooked or fresh.
Vigorous vines can reach 8 feet or more when trellised. Its scarlet red stems and glossy green leaves make it wonderful as an ornamental as well.
Swiss chard offers dietary fiber, which helps to regulate blood sugar levels during the digestive process. It also contains a wealth of vitamins C, E, and K, beta-carotene, manganese, and antioxidants.
