Silverbeet often gets mistaken for spinach and is actually more closely related to the beetroot family. Silverbeet has large waxy leaves with a white stem and is a good source of iron. We prefer to only use part of the stem closest to the leaf. Silverbeet brings a bit of a bitter taste to the dish.
