Rainbow Chard
Chard is a leafy green vegetable often used in Mediterranean cooking. While the leaves are always green, chard stalks vary in colour. Chard has been bred to have highly nutritious leaves at the expense of the root (which is not as nutritious as the leaves). Chard is, in fact, considered to be one of the healthiest vegetables available and a valuable addition to a healthy diet (like other green leafy vegetables).
