And the Iguana love it because of the high iron content.
As a kid I had a terrible experience with this one, just boiled in the water and some salt. But it might be very delicious, if you put the smaller and cutted leaves in fresh pasta with some cream and herbs or gratinated with cheese, certainly Swiss cheese! In the last century the name Swiss chard was chosen to separate it from the French spinach (which is actually very similar and you can cook almost every chard like spinach and viceversa).
But the patch with the lush green leaves and rainbow colored petioles look gorgeous
I have not even tasted it :)
I hate it and Iguanas love it...
