| Hello Rainbow OMGers, It is looking like we are headed for our third straight cooler Summer with lower temperatures. We are not complaining and neither are the veggies 🙂 Celery is one week out from next harvest and Sugar Snap Peas are growing again now. We still have a few jars of our amazing Gardenkraut probiotic available. The next ferment we make will be based on Red Cabbage and Beetroots. Become a Member, Save Time and Money.

| The ever beautiful Rainbow Chard is simply multi coloured Silverbeet. Rather than just green and white Silverbeet, Rainbow Chard comes in red, pink, orange, yellow, white with pink stripes, white and more. Rainbow Chard is far more heat tolerant that traditional Spinach and is generally available all year. Rainbow Chard is a nutritional powerhouse being low in calories and containing: Vitamin’s K, A, C & E Manganese, Magnesium, Iron, Potassium, Copper, Anti-Oxidants, Phytonutrients and more. Rainbow Chard can be best described as salty spinach crossed with celery. It is best served lightly cooked and is generally prepared by cutting the leaves off the stem, then slicing the stem up like celery and the leaves like spinach. Rainbow Chard can be used a spinach substitute in any cooked meal such as: Soups Stews and Stir Fry “Spinach” Pie Added to baked beans An ingredient in vegetable stock We invite you to try this delicious and visually appealing vegetable. |
