About

Swiss chard is a highly nutritious vegetable. Just one cup provides over three times the recommended daily allowance of vitamin K.

​

It is also commonly known as silverbeet, spinach beet, perpetual spinach, crab beet, and mangold.

Along with other leafy greens and descendants of the beet family, Swiss chard contains high levels of nitrates, which been shown to lower blood pressure, reduce the amount of oxygen needed during exercise, and enhance athletic performance.
