Usually I cook chard stems for 7 mins, discarding the cooking liquid to get rid of oxalic acid.

Would you cook chard stems before fermenting?

I've never done it myself but a friend makes lovely pickled chard stems, I think they would be horribly soggy if you boiled them beforehand.
 
It's a pleasure to see superheros taking such an interest in science. And this tiny ad:
