Rainbow Swiss Chard (250g)

Description

Step aside kale, a new leafy green is taking over the town and that’s Swiss chard!
Packed with healthy nutrients and antioxidants chard has been declared a powerhouse vegetable that was given a nutrient density rating of 89/100 so this is definitely one vegetable you shouldn’t overlook.

What is often most noticeable about chard is its array of colors. The stems of each varietal are different colors, spanning the entire rainbow from white to purple. But this player is not just all good looks. Swiss Card is an excellent source of:

• Vitamin A – keeps our eyes, skin and immune system healthy (122% RDI*)
• Vitamin K – helps your body heal wounds and keeps your bones healthy (1038% RDI*)
• Vitamin C – we all know what this does, don’t we? (50% RDI*)
• Magnesium – helps keep your muscles, bones and nerves healthy.

*RDI for 100g of raw leaves.

It also contains the antioxidants beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin, which contribute to fighting off heart disease, cancer, and age-related vision deterioration.

So… It has the good looks. It has the substance. Can this eligible bachelor complete the trifecta?

It seems it can!

While the green leaves are tender with a bitter taste when eaten raw, once cooked, the bitterness dissipates, turning into a mild, sweet taste similar to spinach, but with additional depth of flavor and nuttiness.
