Swiss chard microgreens

Swiss chard is pretty much the king of nicknames. It’s also known as silverbeet, spinach beet, crab beet, seakale beet, mangold, chard, white beet, perpetual spinach, strawberry spinach, Roman kale or bright lights.

It’s pretty bitter if eaten raw but that bitterness can be removed by cooking. That is mostly caused by the oxalic acid in the vegetable. 

Speaking of oxalic acid, if you eat large quantities of it {ie. raw chard}, it can cause health issues for some people. Take a hard pass on chard if you suffer from kidney stones!

These suckers can GROW! Swiss chard plants can grow to 28 inches high. Plus it’s just so pretty to grow in your garden. Not a fact, just an opinion. 

One cup of chopped Swiss chard has just 35 calories and provides more than 300% of the daily value for vitamin K.

Chard is known to be a nutritional powerhouse vegetable packed with vitamins, nutrients and health benefits. It helps to regulate blood sugar levels, prevent various types of cancer, improve digestion, boost the immune system, reduce fever and combat inflammation, lower blood pressure, prevent heart disease, increase bone strength and development, detoxify the body, and strengthen the functioning of the brain. Anyone else want a second helping now?

About the Podcast

Microgreens
For Growers & Consumers
My name is Lisa Welsh and I co-own Vitality Farms Company a microgreens farm in Lakeland, FL. l I started my farm and my show around the same time so you are going to get the honor of learning all the things with me about growing and eating microgreens. Our mission is clear we are going to change the way the world eats its veggies. No fear this won't be long or drawn out. I am originally a northerner so I talk fast, real fast, and since I am showing up as me well grab seat belt and come along and join me as I figure this out on the fly :-)
