Prep notes
The wild parent of chard and beetroot. Vitamin A and K like chard, a little salt from the shore. Leaves only — the root is woody.
Season
Often seasonal where grown; year-round when imported or stored.
Caution
Grocery / shop food data only. Not a wild forage guide. Thrive shows composition curiosity — not medical advice.
