Eat Your Greens for St. Patrick's Day

POSTED BY: Dana Lilienthal | March 17, 2008 | 4:14 AM

Instead of green beer or green bagels eat your greens for St. Patrick's Day. Swiss chard falls into the same "greens" category as kale and has a similar flavor to spinach. According to The World's Healthiest Foods if vegetables were graded on nutrients alone Swiss chard would be one of the vegetable valedictoriansSwiss_chard_tart_3.

One delicious way to add Swiss chard into your diet is by making this Swiss Chard, Raisin and Pine Nut Tart. Each serving has 391 calories, 3 grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein. As a side dish or main course this can be a part of your daily plan. A nutritional profile of this recipe is available. Don't forget to save this recipe to your Nutrition Data Pantry, greens can be eaten year round, they're not just for St. Patrick's Day.
