chard

Definition

A leafy green vegetable that looks like celery mated with spinach and had rainbow babies, with colorful stems ranging from white to neon pink. Also known as Swiss chard (despite not being particularly Swiss), this beet relative offers nutritious greens that taste slightly bitter and earthy. It's what you buy when you want to feel healthy but kale seems too trendy.

Example Usage

I sautéed some chard with garlic to convince myself I'm a functioning adult who eats vegetables instead of just carbs.
