Are Older Rainbow Chard Leaves With Scaliness On Them Edible?

Question

The older leaves seem to carry quite a lot of small scales. Is this normal and edible? If not, what is it and how can it be prevented? Many thanks, Leila Evans

Answer 1

They are likely edible, but they are not likely very palatable. Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I am unable to see the damage.
