About Chard
Chard, a leafy green vegetable related to beets, is a nutrient-rich, versatile addition to any diet. Originating from the Mediterranean region, it has been a staple in various cuisines, including Italian and Swiss dishes. Chard is known for its vibrant stalks, ranging from white to vivid shades of red, yellow, and orange, and its slightly bitter, earthy-tasting leaves. Packed with essential nutrients, chard is an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K, alongside magnesium, potassium, and dietary fiber. It’s also rich in antioxidants, which help combat oxidative stress, and contains calcium for bone health. While chard is low in calories, the oxalates in it may hinder calcium absorption for some individuals. Enjoy it raw in salads, sautéed as a side dish, or as part of soups and casseroles for an easy way to boost nutritional intake.
