I don't think beets are more healthful than many other vegetables
but still I happen to like them, I enjoy their texture and they make a
colorful accompaniment to otherwise drab/blase foods. Beets are also
very easy to obtain, they are sold canned at most any store.
Chard is much easier to grow than spinach... spinach is a magnet for
sand. Chard is also a good landscaping plant, it can grow quite large
like a shrub and in several color combos. But mostly chard is easy to
harvest and is very good in salads.
