Everwilde Farms - 1 oz Canary Swiss Chard Seeds - Gold Vault Bulk Seed Packet

The stems and veins of Canary Swiss Chard are bright yellow, adding a nice contrasting color to salads! It may be harvested as a baby vegetable at 30 days or when fully mature at 60 days. This variety is excellent for fresh or steamed eating! In spite of the name, Swiss chard originates in the Mediterranean region, where professional and home chefs alike use it for salad greens or as a flavoring in soup or rice. The first written mention of this vegetable in the United States is in The American Farmer magazine, where Baltimore farmer Gideon Smith reported his experimental planting. It remained a curiosity until after the Civil War, when gradually it gained in popularity.
