Red Chard??

[everhood13]

Is red chard ok to feed? I remember hearing something about chard, but I thought it was swiss chard? Is there a big difference? I'm going to try and find the feeding chart, but I thought I might get an answer quicker by just asking. Thanks!

Swiss chard comes in several colors... red, white, orange, pink, yellow, so I'm thinking that what you are calling red chard is the same as swiss chard.

Another tidbit of vegetable information is chard is basically the same thing as beets, chard has been bred to produce leaves and beets have been bred to produce roots.

here's the link http://www.beautifuldragons.503xtreme.com/Nutrition.html to the one nutrition content page

Chard is one of those high in oxalic acid so shouldn't be fed as a staple.
