Swiss Chard

Swiss chard is a nutrient-dense leafy green with tender leaves and mild, slightly earthy flavor. The edible stems come in vibrant colors—green, red, yellow, or white—adding visual appeal to any dish. Use it raw in salads for a fresh, crisp addition, or sauté the leaves and stems together as a simple side. Chard works beautifully in soups, stews, and grain bowls, or chop and mix into pasta dishes, frittatas, and casseroles. The stems can be cooked slightly longer than the leaves for a tender texture. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, plus minerals like magnesium and potassium, Swiss chard is a versatile staple for weeknight dinners and meal prep. Store in the refrigerator and use within a few days for best flavor and texture.
