If you have never eaten swiss chard, or you are just curious about it’s health benefits, it is known for being one of the most nutritious vegetables in the world. Swiss chard has as little as 35 calories per cup, while adding loads of fiber, vitamins (A & K), and iron, and has also been shown to work as a great antioxidant. It is a great addition to any salad or soup, but is also delicious sautéed as a side dish.
