Tag: Chard nutrition

According to a study published by the National Institutes of Health, different cooking methods can dramatically alter the vitamin content of vegetables, and chard is no exception. So, does chard lose nutrients when cooked? The answer is a nuanced trade-off between different types of vitamins and minerals.

Packed with over three times the recommended daily intake of vitamin K per raw cup, Swiss chard is a nutritional powerhouse. But many home cooks are left asking: **which part of Swiss chard is edible?** The good news is that you can enjoy almost the entire plant, from the crisp stems to the tender leaves.
