Swiss Chard


Swiss Chard is another powerful element. It is such a rich vegetable, high in vitamin A, K, and C, minerals, dietary fiber, and protein. Also, in some research studies it was proven to help regulate the blood sugar.
I like to cook it very simply in olive oil and garlic and particularly love the red chard and its vibrant color after it's cooked. I remember to have read somewhere that the color of the chard is also full of antioxidants and it's a great anti-inflammatory and detoxification support. Look it up, I'm not making this up!
With all the goodness aside, knowing me, I would cook it just because it's pretty and has a beautiful color. I think its strong taste goes perfectly with cooked quinoa.
