Few people know what chard is - whether it is a vegetable or a fruit. It is also called spinach or beetroot. This is a vegetable from which only the leaves are used. They look like spinach, but cook more slowly.
The stalks are used cooked like asparagus and cauliflower. Chard differs from lettuce in that in the first year it does not form a root crop, but a leaf rosette. Its leaves are large, curly and fleshy.
There are two types of chard - leafy (the leaves are up to 20 cm long and look like spinach) and stalk chard - its leaves reach 50 cm with a fleshy stalk. Chard does not withstand low temperatures, planted in April, with a distance between rows of 40 cm.
The cutting of the leaves begins after the full formation of the outer leaves. In the autumn, before the cold, the plants are removed, the outer leaves are cut and planted densely in sand or soil in a cellar. Stored chard continues to grow in winter and develops fresh leaves until spring.
These young leaves, which have developed without light, are even more tender and delicious than those that have grown outside in the light. Very nice and useful vegetables for making soups and salads.
