Swiss chard; silverbeet
Refers to the leafy green vegetable Beta vulgaris var. cicla, commonly known as Swiss chard or silverbeet.
Swiss chard is characterized by its brightly colored stems.
I used Swiss chard in today's salad.
Kanji spelling using 草 for 'plant'; less common than the katakana form.
Alternate kanji spelling; rarely used.
The name ふだんそう (不断草) literally means 'constant grass', possibly referring to its continuous harvest. The exact origin is uncertain.
