Bright Lights is a multi-colored blend of many chard strains. Harvest the baby leaves to add to a salad mix adding a rainbow of colors for a real wow factor! You will discover that each color carries its own distinctive flavors and textures at each stage of maturity. The yellow stalks tend to be slightly sweeter, and white stalks are more tender, for instance. Prepare the stalks as you would broccoli in a stir-fry, while saving the leaves to steam as you would spinach. Leaves can be added to smoothies, too!
