Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris Distribution

Even though Swiss rhubarb has a name with the word Swiss, this plant does not originate from that country but comes from the Mediterranean/European region. Swiss spinach can be consumed as a vegetable, where the young leaves are usually used as a salad and the slightly older ones are cooked or sauteed. Swiss spinach can also be added to salads, pizza, pasta, gratins, bruschetta and soups. The leaves and stems can be boiled, baked or steamed. Apart from being grown for consumption, B. vulgaris is also often cultivated as an ornamental plant. With its shiny leaves and bright red stems, this plant becomes a focal point that attracts attention.

This antioxidant substance can prevent damage caused by free radicals, disease and inflammation, such as preventing cancer.
