I’ve always loved rainbow chard for it’s vibrant colors, but it’s so much more than a beautiful vegetable!! Kale may be the “king of greens” but rainbow chard is packed with nutrients and so many health benefits!

Here are 4 Benefits of Rainbow Chard…

Super high in Vitamin K and Vitamin A. Just one cup of cooked rainbow chard had over 700% of the RDI for Vitamin K and over 200% of the RDI for Vitamin A. (RDI = recommended daily allowance)

Packed with antioxidants like polyphenols, beta-carotene, quercetin and kaempferol which help to not only fight disease in the body (and prevent it) but they also help to fight free radicals.

Loaded with fiber, one cup of cooked rainbow chard has almost 4 grams of fiber…that’s amazing! Fiber is one of the best ways to naturally lower your cholesterol. A high fiber diet helps to manage heart disease, diabetes, and weight.

Rainbow chard helps to keep your heart healthy with heart healthy nutrients like potassium, calcium, magnesium and essential minerals. These nutrients help to regulate your blood pressure and lower inflammation in the body - helping to prevent heart disease.
