Leaf

The versatility of chard as a baby leaf is that it brings colour and flavour to salads. While mature stems have an improved flavour, great texture and can be steamed or stir-fried. Our breeders are developing varieties with different coloured petioles. A full range of varieties and colours are now available.

Mainly grown for baby leaf production. It is similar to Intense at the baby leaf stage but as it matures Elite has a slightly darker red leaf. Good upright habit and uniformity.
