Nutritional values

This delicious side dish is rich in calcium and magnesium. The combined presence of these two minerals is necessary for some processes in the body; for example, the calcium balance can only be regulated if the hormone responsible for this is provided with magnesium.

You can also use spinach instead of chard. The large winter spinach leaves are best suited with the thick stems cut off and discarded
