Swiss Chard: Health Benefits and Nutritional Value

Swiss chard is a member of the beet family, but it doesn't produce an edible bulbous root. The dark green leaves and the juicy leaf-stalks (petioles), however, are completely edible and have high nutritional value. Thanks to its broad range of nutrients, Swiss chard is a real superfood with a whole range of health benefits.

Swiss Chard Contains Almost As Much Vitamin K as Collard Greens

The gorgeous green leaves and the juicy stems of the Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris subsp. cicla) are packed full of vitamin K.

A Low Calorie Food with Weight Loss Benefits

Eating Swiss chard may also help you lose excess body fat, when consumed as part of a balanced diet. Swiss chard contains practically no fat, and it is very low in calories: one ounce of cooked and drained Swiss chard providing only 6 calories! In addition, Swiss chard contains a good amount of vitamin C which may indirectly promote weight loss through its ability to stimulate the synthesis of carnitine, a compound that has been linked to improved fat burning.

Swiss Chard Packs a Carotenoid Punch (Good for Your Eyes!)

Did you know that Swiss chard is supercharged with pro-vitamin A (carotenoids), with one ounce of boiled and drained Swiss chard supplying your body with a staggering 34% of the Daily Value for pro-vitamin A (according to USDA's nutrition facts data for Swiss chard).
