Swiss chard

Akin to its leafy green cousin spinach, Swiss chard is a nutrient-dense vegetable that provides a host of health benefits. Rich in vitamin A, C and K, even in small portions, it's also high in fiber, potassium, magnesium and iron. Swiss chard is equally packed with antioxidants, which can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases and may protect against developing heart disease and lung cancer.
