Swiss chard: the properties of one of the most vitamin-rich vegetables you can find all year round
Locked up at home and in the kitchen, chard is one of the products that you can find all year round and with which you can give vent to your culinary creativity. It is one of the most profitable vegetables since it can be used practically in its entirety. With leaves and stems you can bring delicate first courses such as soups to the table but it can also become excellent as a side dish or in salads: in this case, however, I recommend that you cook it trying to use as little water as possible, then steam or boil it, so it will avoid losing its nutrients.
The vegetable
Chard is a leafy vegetable that belongs to the chenopodiaceae family. It has large, green leaves while the stems can be white or reddish. Traditionally they belong to humid areas with temperatures that are not too cold such as France, Spain and Italy or in any case the Mediterranean area.
