Guest guest Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Very timely. I just picked four big bunches. Beautiful stuff - golden yellow, neon pink and deep red stems.

Did you know that Swiss chard promotes healthy bones and vision? It's a very good non-dairy source of calcium and an excellent source of vitamin K, which plays an important role in maintaining bone health since it activates osteocalcin, the major non-collagen protein in bone. Swiss chard's rich supply of magnesium is also necessary for healthy bones. About two-thirds of the magnesium in the human body is found in our bones. Some helps give bones their physical structure, while the rest is found on the surface of the bone where it is stored for the body to draw upon as needed. Swiss chard is also an excellent source of vitamin A and is rich in beta-carotene, two important nutrients for healthy vision. In a study of over 50,000 women, those who consumed the highest dietary amount of vitamin A had a 39% reduced risk of developing cataracts. Chard is also a concentrated source of the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, two powerful antioxidants that concentrate in ! the lens and retina to protect them from oxidative damage. Dietary intake of these carotenoids has been found to reduce risk of developing cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. Sucker-punch spam with award-winning protection.Try the free Beta.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 I don't like the soapy taste of it raw, but it should be good like this: Swiss Chard Salad 1 bunch multi colored Swiss chard, sliced very thin 1 avocado, cut into bite sized pieces 1/4 to 1/2 sweet red onion, sliced very thin 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley Toss together and dress with Basil Honey Dressing In the blender, put the following 1 cup fresh basil leaves 2 tbsp honey 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 1/4 cup water (or to taste) Blend and add 1/4 to 1/2 cup olive oil. Continue to blend until well mixed. Adjust sweetness to taste. Gayla Always Enough RanchAcampo, Californiahttp://bouncinghoofs.com/alwaysenough.htmlBill Barnhill is our Inspiration!

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Kelp Kelp contains nearly thirty minerals which nourish the glands (especially the thyroid and pituitary). By enhancing the action of the glandular system, it helps balance the body's metabolism and rate at which it burns calories. Kelp, also known as seaweed, grows in the rich ocean beds, far below surface pollution levels. Because of its high nutrient content, this herb is reputedly beneficial for a wide range of applications. It is known to nourish the sensory nerves, brain membranes, also spinal cord and brain tissue. Kelp contains alginic acid which can help protect the body against the effects of radiation.
