PROPERTIES

• Organic cooked chard, thanks to its mineral richness, is a food that strengthens the immune system. It is an excellent source of calcium, especially for people who do not consume dairy products.
• It is an essential food in low-calorie diets for weight loss. So, boiled, sautéed, or dressed with oil and lemon, it constitutes a light dish that can be part of a dinner for those who want to lose weight.
• It is beneficial for those who suffer from difficulties in intestinal transit due to its fiber richness and its emollient and soothing power of the intestinal tract. These same digestive properties make it recommended in cases of gastritis and hemorrhoids.
• Due to its high iron content, and also the presence of copper, it helps treat iron deficiency anemia. It is interesting to note that this iron will be better absorbed thanks to the vitamin C that chard already has in abundance.

PREPARATION

• Its use in cooking is similar to that of spinach. Both vegetables can even be combined in omelets, creams, and fillings, so that their flavors are balanced. It can be sautéed in good olive oil with pine nuts and raisins, or combined with walnuts and silky tofu in a refreshing salad. They are delicious, and there are no simpler dishes than when they are accompanied with potatoes or finely chopped with a good plate of boiled rice. Both its green leaves and stems are excellent for making vegetable broths, in combination with root vegetables. To season them, you can use oregano, thyme, mint, freshly ground nutmeg, and of course, garlic.
