Vegetables: Swiss Chard

Nutritional Information:
Good source of vitamin A.

What To Look For:
Crisp, tender leaves that are not overgrown. Bright color. Available year round, but tend to be tough and woody in hot summers.

Storage, Easy Cooking:
Keep refrigerated in plastic bags to maintain moisture. Rinse as many times as necessary to remove sand. Remove thick, tough leaves.

Best Uses:
Use raw in salads when small and tender. Cook in skillet with small amount of olive oil until just wilted, or steam using the moisture that clings to greens after washing.
