Rainbow Chard Replacement

PrincessDi posts: 25 (#155001) posted: 24 Jul, 2012 06:56:51 PM	Rainbow Chard Replacement I'm a more than a week behind on the menu, and am having problems sourcing the Rainbow Chard that is in week 2. (I have looked in 3 nearby supermarkets.) What can I use as a replacement for this?? Send PM

I agree with Yeo for substitute. I  believe that chard is like the leaves on beetroot but wouldn't use these. Maybe the experts can tell us more about chard and what is its worth and where to purchase this vegetable. Send PM

Rainbow chard is the same at silver beet. If you are still struggling to find it, you can use spinach. Send PM
