Beautiful colours - that red is stunning and the leaf very striking.

[Paula]

What a wonderful shot. The red is so bright and the detail fabulous on the leaves. Almost good enough to eat.

[Hazel]

@creativeamateur @doblaine Thank you, thank you - you can eat it - a bit like spinach (but I don't like either). Sometimes it has a yellow stalk.

[mervyn hobbs]

This was a great idea. Came out very well.

[David Pryde]

@quietpurplehaze I like to serve fish on steamed spinach for the texture.

[Hazel]

@doblaine Well I'm sure it looks lovely but I'd just have to look at it as it's not just that I don't like spinach but spinach also does not like me!

[Kate]

great capture - looks like rhubarb

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

Oooh, stunning - sooo red! Just a pity I don't really like to eat it! I find it a bit bitter.

[Hazel]

@tishpics I don't like it either - best for photos.........

[Hazel]

@kbradbury Thank you Kate - yes, it does look like rhubarb but tastes nothing like it!

[Pyrrhula]

@quietpurplehaze Wikepedia tells : it`s old , very healthy and used in many Mediterranean and Arabian kitchens.
Love the colors ,pov and textures of this capture

[Hazel]

@pyrrhula Thank you SO much for your comments - and for the interesting info! (I did think carefully about the POV before I took it!)

[Sharon]

The red really stands out against the green. It looks so fresh.

[Hazel]

@purdey Sharon, thanks for looking and for your comments.

[inspirare]

same red beet, truly?

[Hazel]

@inspirare Not sure - red beet or beetroot = you eat the root; this is chard and you eat the leaves.

[Gemma]

That's a fantastic shot, colours are so vibrant wow.
