For cooking I far prefer Swiss chard over spinach personally.
For eating raw, a baby leaf or bunching variety is best such as a variety called “discovery” sold by McKenzie seeds here.
mature chard is not meant to be eaten raw but rather sautéed or steamed and it is so delicious.

Had a look, sorry looks like it’s discontinued but perhaps someone else sells or perhaps look specifically for a variety used for baby leaf chard if eating raw.
