£1.95

A giant in the chard field, this heirloom variety is larger than other Swiss chards out there, growing to a height of around 60cm. It has dark green, charmingly crumpled leaves and white contrasting stems which arrive in generous quantities over a long season. This chard has a rich earthy flavour and is best enjoyed sautéed or gently steamed to retain all of its goodness.
