Working in a produce warehouse, I am always amazed that we don't carry baby "bright lights" chard. I think the bitter mesclun thing is a little old and worn out myself. And when ever there is a tour of our warehouse, customers are always taken through the organics room so they can see the cases of full grown bright lights chard because there is nothing else that gets that kind of reaction or has that kind of eye appeal. It is absolutely beautiful! And sweet! I grow it at home and clip it when it's three to four inches and add it to baby lettuces to perk up my salad bowl. Add a handful of sweet 100 cherry toms, some sweetened dried cranberries, a handful of cashew halves, a little ranch dressing, and I've got dinner! It is the easiest thing to grow. I've had strays in a crack in the sidewalk. Give it a try! |
