Unless you count kale. Kale should be used for rabbit food and compost.

Who knew Swiss chard could be this good?! The key is to slice the chard very thinly and cook it over medium-high heat until it caramelizes on the edges. These greens are not soggy or mushy, no way.

This cooked chard is a little garlicky, a little lemony, and seriously irresistible. It’s the perfect quick and healthy side dish. The chard shrinks in volume while it cooks, so you’ll find yourself eating more greens than you realize—your body will thank you!

It's meh - and it self-seeds in my garden, so I always have plants. I prefer mustard greens, kale, and collards for my favorite winter dish: sausage, greens, and beans
