the.com/chard
a vegetable that looks like a sunset and tastes like spinach's tougher cousin.
means A leafy green vegetable (a type of beet grown for its leaves and stalks rather than its root), whose stems can range from white to brilliant red, yellow, and orange.
from From French 'carde,' referring to the edible stalk of the artichoke or cardoon, which traces back to Latin 'carduus' meaning 'thistle.' The name migrated over to this beet relative because of its similarly thick, ribbed stalks, and the English spelling 'chard' settled in around the 17th century.
