Silverbeet varieties and best uses
The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common silverbeet varieties compare.
| Variety | Best for |
|---|---|
| Green (Swiss Chard) | All-purpose use in soups, sautés, and frittatas: classic white stems with large dark leaves. |
| Rainbow Chard | Salads, sides, and garnishes: same flavour as green but with colourful red, yellow, and orange stems. |
| Ruby (Red Chard) | Salads, pickling, and colour in cooked dishes: deep red stems that bleed colour when cooked. |
Which should I pick?
Green silverbeet (Swiss chard) is the supermarket default and the best all-purpose choice for soups, sautés, and frittatas. Rainbow or ruby chard carries the same flavour with colourful stems, so use it where the look matters, in salads and sides. Strip the thick stems before measuring if your recipe counts leaves only, since they add bulk without cup volume.

- How much does a medium bunch weigh?
- A medium bunch weighs about 350 g, with a small one around 200 g and a large one near 500 g. That range changes the weight of any recipe that counts silverbeet bunches by the piece, so set the size selector to match what you actually have before trusting a cup or gram figure.
- How much does an average bunch weigh?
- An average bunch is the same as a medium one: about 350 g. A small bunch is lighter at around 200 g and a large one heavier at about 500 g, so the size you actually have changes the total for any recipe that counts silverbeet bunches by the piece rather than by weight.
- Which silverbeet variety should I use?
- Green silverbeet (Swiss chard) is the supermarket default and the best all-purpose choice for soups, sautés, and frittatas.

- How much does a large bunch weigh?
- A large bunch weighs about 500 g, noticeably more than a medium, or average, one at 350 g or a small one at 200 g. Set the size selector to large to convert cups, grams and ounces for the bigger silverbeet bunches you actually have on the counter.
