Swiss chard is a highly nutritious, leafy green vegetable related to beets and spinach, featuring edible, crunchy stems (often in rainbow colors) and mild-flavored leaves. It is rich in vitamins A, C, K, and antioxidants, making it a healthy addition to salads (raw) or sautéed, steamed, and in soups. The stems take longer to cook than the leaves, so they are best added to dishes earlier.
