Swiss Chard ~ Fordhook Giant

A classic heirloom introduced in the early 20th century, Fordhook Giant is prized for its broad, glossy green leaves and thick, white, celery-like stalks. The foliage is tender yet substantial, with a mild, slightly earthy flavor that becomes sweeter when cooked. Highly productive and resilient, this variety tolerates both heat and cool conditions, performing reliably in Canadian gardens throughout the growing season. Cut-and-come-again harvesting encourages continuous yields. Excellent for sautéing, steaming, and adding depth to soups, Fordhook Giant is a dependable and nourishing garden staple.
