@ekaitzzarraga @mightypork In my hometown we call "penca" the stems of the leaves of the artichoque plant, although I can see how you call that the stems of the chard.

@ekaitzzarraga @mightypork @eider I am actually gonna have wild chards for dinner, the diet has som silverlinings :-).

@ekaitzzarraga @mightypork @eider The multi-coloured varieties have become popular in recent years, they look cuter I guess. Beware that they are red when they come in... and still red when they come out. Just like with beets (actually Chard and beets are different cultivars of the same plant species: Beta vulgaris).

@mightypork @ekaitzzarraga @eider I recall the red Chards had a slight sweet taste (that I found annoying), that makes me think that this variety was developed by crossing and selecting chards and beets. Also, the leaves of beets should be eadible!
