Chard is a tall, leafy vegetable commonly referred to as Swiss chard but scientifically known as Beta vulgaris. Chard belongs to the same family as beets and spinach, sharing a similar taste profile with a flavor that is bitter, pungent, and slightly salty. Swiss chard is truly one of the vegetable valedictorians with its exceptionally impressive list of health-promoting nutrients and a great addition to any balanced diet.

How to Store
Storage
– Store in the coldest area of the walk-in cooler. Kitchen heat will cause yellowing and wilting and moisture release almost immediately.
– Store in the original container and in the original sealed plastic bag to protect.
