Nutrients in Swiss Chard

Swiss chard is a good source of Thiamin, Folate and Zinc, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol), Vitamin K, Riboflavin, Vitamin B6, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Copper and Manganese.  It is also mildly anti-inflamatory; this is a good thing!  Chard does contain a significant amount of oxalyic acid, which interferes with the absorption of its calcium, but it doesn’t interfere with the absorption of calcium from other sources like yogurt, milk, and sesame seeds.
