Swiss Chard: Swiss chard grows well in fertile, well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade, and requires consistent moisture to prevent wilting. Ecologically, it improves soil health by being an excellent companion plant, attracting beneficial insects while being relatively pest-resistant. Nutritionally, swiss chard is packed with vitamins K, A, and C, iron, and magnesium, and medicinally it supports heart health, improves bone strength, and helps regulate blood sugar levels due to its high fiber and antioxidant content.
