I have been blessed with a great supply of fresh Swiss chard from my friend’s garden this summer and fall. I have eaten more chard in one summer than I have in my entire life! I am in love with it and this is by far my favorite way to fix it.
Swiss chard is yet another beneficial green that we should incorporate regularly. Each green has a unique nutritional profile.
Swiss chard has been found to contain at least 13 different antioxidants in the leaves. The steps are full of betalains, a unique pigment (also found in beets) that have more antioxidant effects.
In addition to antioxidants, Swiss chard is a great source of Vitamin K, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Magnesium, Potassium, and more. Read more about the awesomeness of chard here.
