About Capuns

Capuns are a traditional Swiss dish originating from the canton of Graubünden. This comfort food is made by wrapping a flavorful mixture of flour-based dough, often containing dried meats like cured ham or salami, in Swiss chard leaves. The rolls are then simmered in a creamy broth, which may include milk or cream for richness. While Capuns provide a good source of protein from the meat filling and vitamins from the Swiss chard, their high fat content, particularly from the cream and cured meats, might be a concern for those watching their saturated fat intake. The dish reflects Alpine culinary traditions and is loved for its hearty, satisfying nature. Pairing Capuns with a side of fresh salad can balance the meal's nutritional profile, adding more fiber and keeping the portion of rich ingredients moderate.
