Premium Fordhook Giant Swiss Chard

Fordhook Giant Swiss Chard is a robust and versatile heirloom variety known for its large, crinkled, dark green leaves and thick, white stems. This highly productive plant grows up to 24 inches tall, producing tender, flavorful leaves that have a slightly earthy taste with a hint of sweetness, making them perfect for sautéing, steaming, or using fresh in salads. The thick stalks add a pleasant crunch and can be enjoyed similarly to celery or asparagus.
