About Green chard leaf

A green chard leaf is the leafy blade of chard, a leafy vegetable with broad, tender leaves and prominent midribs. The leaf is green and can have a slightly crinkled surface; its flavour is mild and earthy, becoming softer and more yielding when cooked.

The leaves are used raw in salads when young or cooked in sautés, soups and other dishes. Chard is sold with stems attached or as leaves alone, and stem colour varies by type; this entry refers specifically to the green leaf, not the separate stem.
