When is chard in season?

Swiss chard is at its best between July and November.

What are the health benefits of chard?

Our nutritionist, Tracey Raye, says dark, leafy green vegetables like chard are some of the most nutrient dense foods. Just a single serving of chard (175g) provides your daily vitamin A and vitamin K requirements, while almost fulfilling your vitamin C requirements too! Chard is a good source of vitamin E, calcium, magnesium and zinc, as well as offering plenty of fibre which is a vital part of supporting your gut health and maintaining a healthy weight.
