Chard, also known by the common names Swiss chard[1], silverbeet, perpetual spinach, spinach beet, crab beet, seakale beet, and mangold, is a leafy vegetable, and is one of the cultivated descendants of the sea beet, Beta vulgaris subsp. maritima. Although the leaves are eaten, it is within the same species as beetroot (garden beet), which is usually grown primarily for its edible roots.
