Swiss chard is highly nutritious, packed with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like magnesium, iron, and potassium. Both the stems and leaves are edible, though they have different textures: the stems are crunchy and are often chopped and cooked longer, while the leaves are tender and can be added later in the cooking process. It’s versatile in the kitchen and can be sautéed, steamed, added to soups, or used raw in salads. Swiss chard is popular in Mediterranean cooking and makes a great addition to stir-fries, pasta dishes, and grain bowls.
