The root on chard is no digger around than an average carrot at the end of 
the season and somewhat shorter. I have never heard of eating them because 
the mass of stalk and leaves to root suggests that it would not be worth the 
effort for the amount that would be harvested for the roots. However, with 
the German recipe for beetroot, they could possibly have been used an aside 
to the stalks and leaves. And they are white which fits the rest of the 
description posted.

BTW, I have never seen any chard available in the market with roots attached 
which are large enough to consider making a separate meal from. I have pulled 
them from the garden but again the mass was insufficient for me to bother 
with.
