Lucullus Swiss Chard

Lucullus Swiss chard is a classic heirloom variety known for its large, crinkled, dark green leaves and thick, pale white ribs. The leaves are tender yet sturdy, with a mild, slightly sweet flavor that becomes richer when cooked. Its broad stems add a pleasant crunch and hold up well to sautéing, braising, and soups. Valued by gardeners and cooks alike, Lucullus Swiss chard is a heavy producer and highly nutritious, offering generous amounts of vitamins A, C, and K, along with iron and magnesium. Its elegant appearance and dependable growth make it a favorite for home gardens, while its balanced flavor makes it ideal for everything from simple garlic sautés to hearty Mediterranean-style dishes.
