He has a light, delicate and pleasant taste; it is easy to prepare and is valuable for health as the content of vitamins in the leaves and stalks of chard is much richer than the usual red beet. They contain vitamins - C, b 1, B2, PP, carotene, valuable acids, proteins and trace elements - iron, potassium, calcium, sodium. Crisp fleshy leaves of chard have a good krovoochischayuschim action. For this purpose, they were used even in ancient times, and Hippocrates believed that "this plant can overcome many diseases".
