In 2022 we grew large amounts of Swiss Chard in & around the local area. It is an incredibly hardy crop that did us proud last year, and provided plenty of edible food that just kept growing back! Interestingly, it has a wide range of health benefits. Per 100g it provides a whopping 1032% vitamin K, 122% vitamin A and 50% RDA vitamin C.
Chard is a strong anti-oxidant, treats anaemia, promotes bone development, prevents cardiovascular disease, promotes digestion, boosts cognitive development, maintains healthy hair*skin*nails, improves muscle function, improves eye health, helps manage and prevent diabetes and even helps prevent cancer. It contains flavonoids and betalains that make up its anti-inflammatory properties.
