Swiss chard is a kind of beet grown for its leaves instead of its root. This tidbit courtesy of my Saveur Cooks Authentic French cookbook. I heart this cookbook. The recipes are amazing and the side bars make me so happy.
Though finding swiss chard was a daunting task (several grocery stores were either out of stock or didn't carry it), the result was worth the search. I had my doubts as to whether a green could pass for a dessert, and I don't love raisins, but as a package, it works. Thanks Saveur!
