VEGETABLE

These hardy stalked leaves come in a whole host of colours, with bunched varieties being described as "Rainbow chard". Most often Swiss Chard is seasoned and cooked as its own dish with various accompanyments, but can also be thrown into all kinds of meals.

Chard has an incredible amount of vitamin K, boasting over 10x the daily quota in only 100g. Along with this, it also contains good quantities of other vitamins like C and A, as well as a moderate amount of minerals. Alonside these, consumption of leafy greens has been shown to have many positive impacts on health metrics.
