About Swiss Chard

Swiss chard is growing in popularity in America because research has shown swiss chard is one of the most nutritious vegetables in the world. Only behind spinach as the most nutrient-rich and healthiest vegetables.

The younger, sweeter leaves can be used in salads, providing color, nutrition, and a spinach-like taste. Larger swiss chard leaves can be chopped and cooked. The leafy portions cook rather fast; the stalks should be chopped into bite-size pieces and can be sautéed or steamed for a longer period of time than the leaves.
