Organic Chard

Organic chard is a leafy green vegetable, a variety of beet, grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. It is harvested and typically sold fresh or frozen. Chard is known for its large, colorful stems and nutrient-rich leaves.

Manufacturers use chard as a nutritious ingredient in packaged foods. It is often found in fresh or frozen vegetable blends, salads, soups, and dips. Its mild, slightly earthy flavor and vibrant color add appeal to these products.

Chard is a source of vitamins and minerals. The FDA generally recognizes chard as safe (GRAS) for consumption as a food. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated many food ingredients, but specific evaluations for chard as a standalone ingredient are not widely publicized. No significant health controversies are associated with typical consumption of chard.
