Swiss Chard Sprouts Seeds

Swiss chard sprouts bring the same bright stem colour as the mature plant, with a mild, slightly earthy flavour close to spinach. They germinate in four to six days and are ready in eight to twelve.

Like beet, chard seed benefits from a long soak before sowing. Grow the tray on into decent light and the stems take on their full red, pink and gold before you cut.
