Swiss chard is super easy to grow and a great vegetable to have in the allotment or veggie plot. This variety has deep green leaves and large white ribbed stems. You can cook the leaves like spinch by simply stewing and then tossing in butter.
Cook the leaves like spinach, then steam the stalks and toss in butter or add to 'Frittata' which is an Italian omelette style. Swiss chard stalks are often described as having a similar flavour to asparagus.
Highly recommended and doesn't bolt the same as spinach does.
All growing instructions for Franchi seeds are on the back of the pack. Just follow the blue dot symbols.
