This ruby red Swiss chard has green leaves and brilliant red stems and veins. To eat ruby red Swiss chard, wash chard leaves and stems under cool running water before using. Remove and sand or grit that is clinging to it. To be sure, separate the leaves from the stems and swirl the leaves around in a large bowl of cool water. Carefully lift out. Remove the fibrous membrane if desired. In general, the leaves can be prepared like spinach and the stalks like asparagus. Harvest of ruby red Swiss chard can begin 50 to 60 days after seeding the herb seeds. Leaves should be gathered by cutting the oldest outer stems close to the ground.
