Swiss chard - is it hard to find in your area? A good substitute? Thanks.

In Los Angeles, it's in all the markets.
Also beet greens which are almost the same - most beets sold fresh now
come with the greens.
I was just researching this the other day, everyone says chard and
beet greens are just chock full of nutrients and also tasty, except
for that oxalic acid, which you can largely reduce by cooking but a
fair amount remains, and is not good for some people who may be
subject to kidney or gall stones, and so ... so I haven't tried them
yet, as far as I know I've never had them for a meal.
