Carnival Chard

Behind the Leaf

A vibrant, nutrient‑dense green built for everyday use. Carnival Chard features tender Swiss Chard leaves (often with crunchy, colourful stems) harvested at peak freshness for a mild, mineral‑rich flavour and versatile texture. Easy to use raw in salads when young, or quickly cooked in sautés, soups, and grain bowls. Swiss Chard has Vitamins K and C, and is a source of iron and magnesium.

Mild, clean “green” flavour with a hint of natural minerality and subtle earthiness. Its tender leaves soften quickly when cooked; young baby leaves can be used raw for a gentler taste. Pairs well with:

  • Aromatics: Garlic, chilli
  • Acid: Lemon
  • Dairy: Parmesan
  • Fat: Olive oil
  • Rinse before consumption
  • Carnival Chard cooks fast and holds its colour
  • Sautéed side: Quick sauté with garlic, olive oil, and a splash of lemon or vinegar; stems can be sliced and cooked briefly before the leaves
  • Grain and protein bowls: Toss raw baby leaves or lightly wilted chard into farro, quinoa, or rice bowls with roasted veg and a tangy dressing
  • Soups and stews: Stir in during the last few minutes of cooking for added body, colour, and nutrition
  • Warm salads: Combine with warm roasted mushrooms, nuts, and a simple vinaigrette so leaves soften slightly but retain texture
