Silverbeet and I have had an interesting past – we ate a lot of it when I was growing up because it was always growing in my mum’s veggie patch, however I never really liked it all that much. I guess that’s not surprising as leafy greens aren’t normally kids favourite food! I had a bit of a sneaky habit of picking silverbeet from the garden and feeding it to our guinea pigs to try and avoid eating it again for dinner! Luckily those days are long behind me and I actually enjoy eating it now – no guinea pigs required!
