Chard

"In the same family as quinoa, beets and spinach,
chard offers a phenomenal array of nutrients, including
potassium, iron, calcium and vitamin K. Chard can help
blood sugar regulation and it provides excellent bone support.
While native to the Mediterranean region, Swiss chard gets
its name from the Swiss botanist who determined the plant's
scientific name. Chard's leaves may be smooth or curly,
depending on the variety, with a thick, crunchy stalk in
colors such as white, yellow, orange and red. Rainbow
chard is simply an assortment of these different colors.
The flavor of chard is bitter, pungent and slightly salty.
As part of the Dirty Dozen Plus, this is important to buy
organic."
