| I believe this what the Italians call Verde a Costa Bianca. This is the best chard we have ever eaten. It is far better than the colorful American chards and somewhat better than Fordhook. |

| Flavor is superior to Fordhook Giant, Bright lights, all the purple chard and many other varieties of swiss chard we have grown. Easy to grow. Produced from June to December at our farm in Philadelphia in 2006. Beginning in 2007, this will be the only variety we grow. Normally, we can't give swiss chard away. Now everyone mentions that they would like more Swiss Chard. Excellent cooked with garlic and olive oil. |
