Earthbound Farm Organic Rainbow Chard Blend
What it is
This is a pre-washed blend of tender rainbow chard leaves and stems. It features a vibrant mix of colors, including red, yellow, and white stems, alongside deep green leaves. The chard is grown organically, meaning it is cultivated without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. This convenient package offers a fresh and healthy addition to meals.
How people cook with it
This versatile greens blend can be incorporated into a variety of dishes, from quick sautés to hearty soups.
- Sautéed as a side dish
- Added to pasta sauces
- Blended into smoothies
- Mixed into omelets
To prepare, simply open the bag and rinse the greens if desired, though they are pre-washed. For a quick side, sauté the blend in a pan with a little olive oil, garlic, and a pinch of salt until tender. It can also be added to simmering soups or stews during the last few minutes of cooking to wilt. For a nutrient boost, blend a small amount into your morning smoothie. The stems will require slightly longer cooking than the leaves.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike mature chard which has tougher stems, this blend uses younger, more tender stems that cook quickly and are edible. The variety of colors in the stems also offers a visual appeal not found in single-color chard varieties.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient way to add fresh, organic greens to their diet will find this blend useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening, ensure the bag is sealed tightly to maintain freshness. Store the remaining blend in the refrigerator. It is best consumed within a few days of opening for optimal quality and flavor.
