Chard... rainbow delight

This is my first time cooking with chard; and must admit, when I saw it in Whole Foods, I snatched it up primarily because of its pretty vibrant colors.

But it's not just a pretty veggie. It ranks second, only to Spinach, for healthiest vegetable!

Chard, also called; Swiss chard or spinach beet,is a nutritional powerhouse! It is an excellent source of vitamins K, A, and C as well as a good source of magnesium, potassium, iron, and dietary fiber.

A leafy green vegetable, often used in Mediterranean cooking; chard has been shown to lower blood pressure, reduce the amount of oxygen needed during exercise and enhanced athletic performance.

Just off of a 28-day detox, and trying out the Paleo diet, I was open to trying some more healthy diet alternatives and decided to give chard a try.
