Beets and Swiss chard look very similar. How are they different?
Good question. Beets and Swiss chard are closely related. The big difference is that the beet forms a delicious edible root…the beet. Swiss chard is grown for the colorful stems and deep green leaves. Both beet and Swiss chard leaves can be added raw to salads, but most people will steam them and add them to favorite recipes. Both are extremely nutritious and you want them to become a family favorite.
