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?
