]]> Eating at least 5 servings of vegetables every day is essential to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Recently, people have been turning to kale in order to accomplish that goal. However, there are so many other dark leafy greens that deserve the spotlight. In particular, swiss chard is a wonderful alternative to chard that is actually more useful because both the leaf and the stalk are edible, whereas with kale the stalk is too rough to eat. So, if you’re looking to boost your nutrition try one of these chard recipes.

Chard Chips
