RE: A Sort of Love Letter to Chard: A Seemingly Abundance of Leafy Greens

There is, I noticed them in people's yards and gardens as the flowers are beautiful and unique. I later read about them and find out about the edible seeds. I didn't find it in any garden store this spring, but I have enough time now to ask around for a few. ☺️
I never saw anybody here using it as food I usually saw them as a garden decoration.

It is funny how we sometimes find food being used as ornamental plants! But they are really tasty and bring a unique flavour to the dish you use them in. And super healthy! But I think the seeds are what is generally used.

That really is funny, I don't even believe that people here know that they could eat it.

Aren't we as modern (or "western") people divorced from our ancestor's wisdom about wild plants that are edible and that have been eaten for so many thousands of years?

So true! 🙈
