Red Chard, 1kg

Red Chard 1kg is 1kg of red chard — the striking leafy vegetable with deep green leaves and vivid crimson stems. Red chard has a mild, slightly earthy flavour similar to spinach but with a more robust texture. As a result, it suits both quick wilting and longer braising. Furthermore, the stems and leaves need different cooking times — add the stems first and the leaves for the final minute. In particular, the visual impact of red chard on the plate is exceptional.

About Red Chard 1kg

We source our vegetables and seasonal produce from specialist growers across Britain and Europe. In particular, we select every variety for its flavour, condition and provenance. As a result, the produce we deliver meets a standard well above what most supermarkets carry. Furthermore, we prioritise seasonal and heritage varieties over commodity produce. These varieties exist because growers selected them for taste, not yield or shelf life. However, they require more care and attention to grow. In particular, heritage and specialty vegetables often have shorter seasons and more demanding growing conditions. Additionally, we work with growers who share our commitment to quality. A short supply chain from grower to your door makes all the difference to freshness. That is why Red Chard 1kg from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Red Chard 1kg From Us

Cooking with genuinely seasonal and specialty produce transforms everyday dishes. In contrast to commodity vegetables, these varieties carry a depth of flavour that rewards simple treatment. As a result, the best preparation is often the simplest. Furthermore, freshness is everything with vegetables. We deliver direct from our suppliers so you cook with produce at its peak. However, even the finest vegetables need a little attention in the kitchen. In particular, most benefit from minimal cooking rather than long boiling. Moreover, good olive oil, sea salt and a little acidity — lemon juice or a splash of vinegar — bring out the best in almost everything. Additionally, the variety and provenance of what you cook matters. That is why we choose these ingredients so carefully.

How to Cook Red Chard 1kg

To get the very best from Red Chard 1kg:

• Separate the leaves from the stems and cook them separately — stems take 5 to 6 minutes, leaves only 1 to 2 minutes.
• Sauté with olive oil, garlic and a pinch of chilli flakes for the simplest and most satisfying preparation.
• Furthermore, red chard works well added to soups, stews and bean dishes where it adds colour, flavour and nutrition.
• Additionally, use raw in a salad — younger, smaller leaves work best as they have a more tender texture.

Perfect Pairings

Red Chard 1kg pairs beautifully with:

• Good olive oil, garlic, chilli and a squeeze of lemon
• Aged feta, goats cheese or ricotta as a creamy contrast
• A chilled Vermentino, Sauvignon Blanc or a light Italian red
• Grilled fish, chicken or a grain-based salad alongside

Storage: Keep refrigerated and use within a few days of delivery. Most vegetables are best stored unwashed in the fridge. However, root vegetables and onions keep well in a cool, dark, dry place. Furthermore, use as soon as possible after delivery for the finest flavour. Delivered fresh and ready to prepare.

However you prepare it, Red Chard 1kg brings a depth of flavour and quality to the table that commodity produce simply cannot match. Moreover, cooking with the finest seasonal produce is one of the great pleasures of the kitchen.
