{"product_id":"fordhook-giant-swiss-chard","title":"Fordhook Giant Swiss Chard","description":"\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eFordhook Giant Swiss chard is a classic heirloom variety (also known as Fordhook Giant or Burpee's Fordhook) that produces very large, broad, dark green leaves up to 24 inches long, with thick, fleshy, white to pale green stems and slightly crinkled, savoyed leaf texture forming tall, upright rosettes. The leaves are tender when young and hold up well when mature, offering a mild, earthy flavor that's slightly sweet and less bitter than many greens, with succulent stems that add pleasant crunch and mild taste when cooked. It's highly versatile: harvest baby leaves for fresh salads, sauté mature leaves and stems with garlic and olive oil, wilt into soups, pasta, or stir-fries, steam or braise as a hearty side, or use in quiches, gratins, and smoothies for added nutrition and bulk. This variety is a dependable choice for Utah because it's cold-hardy for early spring and fall planting in our variable climate, heat-tolerant with some shade in summer, slow to bolt compared to many chards, and performs reliably in fertile, well-drained soil—making it a consistent producer through extended cool seasons. It's great for containers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salt City Gardens","offers":[{"title":"Individual Plant","offer_id":44849206788205,"sku":"frdg-swch-01","price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-Pack","offer_id":44849206755437,"sku":"frdg-swch-04","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/6774\/9997\/files\/FordhookGiant.jpg?v=1773705367","url":"https:\/\/saltcitygardens.com\/products\/fordhook-giant-swiss-chard","provider":"Salt City Gardens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
