Can we talk for a quick sec about chard?

Don’t pass this beauty by in the produce section!

Coming from the same plant family as spinach and beets, chard is a green leafy vegetable and one of nature’s superfoods.

Some call it Swiss chard (although it didn’t originate in Switzerland) or rainbow chard (because its stalks can be green, yellow, or bright pink).

Here are some of its incredible health benefits:

🥬 Excellent source of vitamin K—for blood clotting and healthy bones

🥬 Good source of magnesium—for muscle relaxation and healthy blood pressure

🥬 Good source of vitamin C—to support body collagen and immune function

🥬 High in antioxidants—like beta carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin

Chard has a mild flavor and is delicious sauteed or boiled. Just remember that the stalks are much thicker than the leaves and require a bit more cooking time to soften up.

Drop me a comment—do you have a favorite way to prepare chard?
