Description/Taste
Baby rainbow chard not only offers a dazzling visual effect, it delivers a milder flavor compared to regular chard. The striking green or bronze-green leaves have a chewy texture and a just-right taste. Actually like having two vegetables in one, the colorful pink, red, crimson, pink and white striped, bright gold, orange to pale orange, white and purple are deliciously edible, too.

Geography/History
Sources say one of the places chard first grew was Sicily, although it is thought the Near East and the Mediterranean also knew this vegetable. "Cicla", the scientific name, is from "sicula" which does seemingly refer to Sicily.
