This is one of the best instructional cooking videos I have seen. Clear, concise, and easy and pleasurable to follow. I usually turn these off, but I will now be looking for more of her videos. Great job!!
So much helpful information packed into such a short video. Great presentation too! I'm growing swiss chard for the first time this year and now I know what to do with it. Thank you!
YOU ARE FANTASTIC!! Not only are we starting our very first organic garden but I am finally (at the age of 55) liking cooking! You have taught myself and the family how to cook fantastic dishes with our new garden fair! We cannot wait to try our Swiss Chard for the first time! Thank You so much for enriching our lives and our health! Muah!
Thank you for a great how to video. Motivated me to get out in the garden and harvest it. I wish people wouldn't troll soeone who is only trying to share. I hope you ignore them and keep up the good videos.
these 101 videos are awesome! i've been wanting to eat chard and kale but i don't how to cook them and these videos has really helped! please continue making more 101 videos!
I just ate Swiss chard for the first time today. I had the red stalked one. Your video was helpful in showing me how to prepare and cook it. I sautéed some onions and even put chopped up cooked bacon, seasoning. It turned out so very yummy. I think I'm going be eating chard a lot more often. I'm adding more greens to my diet for health reasons. I'm actually doing the AIP. Autoimmune protocol to help with my autoimmune disorder and eating more vegetables and greens is part of it. Thanks for your great demonstration. I have subscribed.
very good and informative video. I am a recent diabetic and have to learn all this stuff. Your video's are clear, clean and well presented. thanks, great job.
I love your info…..about cooking greens. I grow greens in winter here…..in planters against my South Wall(winter sun). Thks for encouragement about this. I’ve had great luck with spinach, arugula, kale and collards….on that South wall. Last winter we had 2 days of 9 degrees. Very rare and weird in our Atlanta area. So I have learned to cover my pots/plants with 2 layers of plastic shower curtains…..and a blanket….overnight when very very cold. I love growing my own veggies! Thanks Dani! Ahna. Atlanta…USA
Clean & Delicious: Wow!! Your dealing with Chard is AWESOME!! My Mother use to just boil and add butter with lemon. Awesome Food from God!! Thank you!!
Swiss chard is a great vegetable. Kind of like spinach - but without the "bite". Additionally Swiss chard is a pretty plant and is super easy to grow if you have a place to grow it. Here in Tennessee I put Swiss Chard seeds out last March. If you harvest outer leaves - it will keep putting out leaves from the middle. I had Swiss Chard until after the first hard frost in November. Gave bunches of it away, too.
What a great presentation!....I was brought up on Swiss Chard and my mother would just about cook it this very same way. AND, if your a diabetic, this is the dish for you. I've always loved it! and, if you've never ever had this dish, then that's sad, sad, sad indeed!.
This was excellent. I'm so happy I've found your channel. For clean, quick, healthy & well presented recipes, you gets my vote as the best cooking instructor on U-Tube. :)
Thanks Dani you inspired me to go pick the Ruby chard I've got growing. It's just beautiful too look at but I had no idea it was considered a cruciferous vegetable or how to prepare it. Also my Mom has COPD so I'll be swapping it out for spinach in the coming dinners since now I know it has benefits to the respiratory system. Great vid.
I've only ever used Swiss Chard as a lettuce replacement in salads. I'm going to cook up the stems and add the leaves like you did for a nice side dish. I just watched your Collard Greens 101. Apparently I'm 8 years late... good work! I look forward to watching more of your 101 series.
Great video. When I was really young like 3 or 4 (a long time ago) This was the only veggie I would eat. Haven't had it in years and spontaneously bought some early this week and had it tonight. Thanks for the helpful tips - it was really really good.
I pick chard from my garden tonight and made the stems like you suggested. My hubby's words, "I was worried that these would be tough. They are just right and very tasty!' I topped the chard leaf recipe I used with the stems and he ate it all! Thanks for the 101 lesson too, it took time to de-vein the leaves, but oh so worth it!!
My favorite Swiss Chard dish: Saute thin sliced onion and sliced chard stems until just tender in 2 tbsp. olve oil. Add fresh finely chopped garlic (I use 2 cloves per bunch of chard,) a pinch of red pepper flakes, salt and pepper,, and saute for a minute or two until the garlic fragrance is evident. Don't burn the garlic. Add the sliced green leafy part of chard and begin to wilt it. Add a drained can of cannelini beans and heat tossing the greens, stems,, onion, garlic, seasoning until warmed through. Greens are now wilted but not mushy. Finish with a small splash of wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar. You can cook this dish with olive oil if you want to be healthy or fry up some bacon and use a little of the bacon grease if you want to be delighted. Then you can use the bacon bits as garnish. It's up to you.
Thank you for your video. I saw swiss chard for the first time in my grocery this week and would have bought some but didn't know how to prepare. Thanks so much.
I'm trying to eat healthier but it's difficult because I suck at cooking! Thanks for explaining this in such a simple way so that novice cooks like myself can start eating better without being overwhelmed with complicated recipes.
I just sauteed some Swiss chard right now and it was Delicious with a capital D. I squeezed some fresh lemon juice on it at the end to give it a nice zesty flavor.
Thank you for this very informative video. I was vacillating as to whether to order swiss chard from my local farmer. I had no idea how to cook it (raised on Cuban cuisine and still learning). Your excellent video provided me with the information I was looking for and I decided to go ahead and order some from my local farmer!
Great video! I do enjoy eating them raw, even the stems, if you chop them fine and mix them with lets say quinoa, they add nice crunchy element to your dish :)
Denisa J I bet it would add a nice crunchy, earthy element to like a pico de gallo! With a little Radish and cabbage it could make awesome blackened fish tacos!
Thank you for doing this video! I am a 21 year old dude just trying to each healthier and include a variety to my salads, but being completely naive to anything not store prepared, thank you!
You might want to try cooking in cast iron. I once used the nonstick pans but they get scratched so easily and I wasn't interested in eating the coating due to it's links with cancer. Now that I cook in cast iron I don't want to use anything else. I think I want to plant some chard in my garden this year. I hear it grows great here in south GA.
Growing some in an AeroGarden right now in the middle of winter as an experiment. Grows really fast hydroponically. I'm not getting huge leaves like that, but as soon as I transplant it outside, the deer will come after it.
Never even heard of u Danni. Very first video of urs I've ever seen (30 to 50 gig youtuber). Just wanted to say well done. Seem every bit of a pro to me. Kudos
Hi! Thank you for your video- it gave some great new ideas for cooking chard! The only omission is that the stems are crunchy and succulent, and are great just eaten raw - like celery - and use to scoop up dips- like hummus or a cheese dip!
Thank you for this video. This is my first year growing shard and now I have an idea how to prepare it. Just one side note all the shard I have grown has been in containers and it has work great so shard will be on our planting list for now on. It grows like a weed. So very easy.
Swiss chard is a nutritional powerhouse an excellent source of vitamins K, A, and C, as well as a good source of magnesium, potassium, iron, and dietary fiber. wonderful recipe to follow step by step Have a nice day , Tom
FYI Reusable produce bags from Norwax are great for keeping greens. They are mesh and let the greens breath in the fridge and maintain the best humidity level.
I'm srsly growing only chard and lettuce next year cuz I hate other greens. MAYBE collards and mustards for cooking. Mustards grow supah fast tho they're nice.
I love using fresh giant thick succulent Chard leaves from my garden to wrap stuff. Even a burger instead of a bun I'll use Chard and wrap it up with the condiments
very informative.... no wasted time (yours & mine) of chattering "fluff" short sweet & to the point.... excellent!!! i'll be looking up more of your stuff!!! thanks, e.
Great vid! I was hoping to learn about growing Schwish Chaud :) but this will help me when I harvest because I knew nothing about cooking and eating it or the many different kinds.
I throw the whole thing, leaf, stem and all (kale too) and blend em up with some frozen mixed berries & banana in my nutriblast, for an awesome green smoothie!
I lost 30lbs in about 6 weeks this spring drinking green smoothies for breakfast and lunch. Gonna do it again next spring because a huge green smoothie is way better for you and much more filling than a little can of slim fats or something like that.
Tiny holes are allowed, it means that the bugs liked them and that they have not been sprayed with insecticides. I grow my own and when i pick my Swiss chard i pick all that i see, some with holes and some without it all tastes the same.

CH-ard (not shard) is in the beet family. It is not a cruciferous plant. (Seed look exactly like beet seeds.) Loved what you did with the stems!
I knew nothing about Swiss Chard before I watched this video--great video--very informative and practical--plus enjoyable to watch
mark ballantyne Awesome - so glad you found it helpful.

saw swiss chard in the store today and picked it up.... I just KNEW you would have a 101 episode about it. THANKS! I'm trying this tonight.
Best video I have seen on chard! Thank you!!🙌
Great video. I am growing this year for the first time, and really did not know what to do with it. Thank you!
This was so helpful- I just picked up some swiss chard from our coop and can't wait to cook it up. I will try the baked stems too! Keep them coming.
Everything in your video was right to the point, answered all my questions, short and knowledgeable. Thank you so much for your effort 👏🏻😍

Oh WOW!! The chard stems with pecorino!!!!!!! What a great idea!!!!!! This page is awesome!

I'm trying to eat healthier but it's difficult because I suck at cooking! Thanks for explaining this in such a simple way so that novice cooks like myself can start eating better without being overwhelmed with complicated recipes.
Thanks for this video!
There are so many chard recipes, but no simple guide on how to prepare the raw item. This is a huge help.
+yoo toob Happy to help :)
I just sauteed some Swiss chard right now and it was Delicious with a capital D. I squeezed some fresh lemon juice on it at the end to give it a nice zesty flavor.
I had these today from my little garden along with my tomatoes i picked 😋 added mushrooms 🍄 onions 🧅 & grn onion, garlic.
You would make a great teacher! God bless you!
Got this in my CSA basket and didn't know what to do with it. Thank you for the clear demo and instructions! Love your channel!
Anytime!! So glad it was helpful.
Love you Dani!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I love to eat healthy food and now I'm able to cook it. Thanks again :)
Eating the leaves raw mixed in a salad is awesome. using the steams in a marinade is also delish.
Trying to eat better, this video really helped! Thanks Dani 😊

The roasted stems with romano sounds and looks yummy!
Hello. Enjoyed this video. I just baked the Swiss Chard as you did and it is delicious. Thanks.
What a great video..... informative and the demonstration is on point as always. Thank you for your time.
Thank you for doing this video! I am a 21 year old dude just trying to each healthier and include a variety to my salads, but being completely naive to anything not store prepared, thank you!
Thank you for adding the blooper! That was perfect!

Now that I cook in cast iron I don't want to use anything else. I think I want to plant some chard in my garden this year. I hear it grows great here in south GA.
I agree. Cast iron is awesome, but don't cook anything acidic in it. It's bad for the pan.
Growing some in an AeroGarden right now in the middle of winter as an experiment. Grows really fast hydroponically. I'm not getting huge leaves like that, but as soon as I transplant it outside, the deer will come after it.
Hey...this rocked! Just started getting farm-to-home veggies delivered and I'm needing a vegi-education. Thanks.
Thank you for this video. I saw it in the market but really had no clue how to eat it. Now, I will try and it looks delicious after frying like that.
Your awesome Dani I've learnt so much from you and have even tried lots of new fruit and vege cause of your videos. Thank you love from Australia
Dani that taught me so much as I just planted some Swiss chard Tuesday thank you
We love you DaniSpies!!!
Never even heard of u Danni. Very first video of urs I've ever seen (30 to 50 gig youtuber). Just wanted to say well done. Seem every bit of a pro to me. Kudos

Love your enthusiasm. Can’t wait to cook this bad boy.
Wow yes beautiful video, so much info and the recipe plus the techniques. 10/10
Thank you so much Dani! Im growing Chard in my greenhouse now, so this was so helpful!!!!
Swiss chard is a nutritional powerhouse
an excellent source of vitamins K, A, and C, as well as a good source of magnesium, potassium, iron, and dietary fiber.
wonderful recipe to follow step by step
Have a nice day , Tom
Thanks Dani, I now have the courage and knowledge to try new foods.
I like to use this to replace my tortillas to make some really healthy and delicious burritos
Thats my plan 😍
thats a good idea!! i already cut mine up =(
Good ideas, especially the cheesy stems. (Sautéed I put it together with cooked quinoa as a side dish.) Thank you.
Very, very well done video! Fast paced, clear, and packed with information! Love your enthusiasm! Instant "subscribe"!
Chernabog28 Welcome!!
Wow excellent job. Everything on point. Keep the videos coming. Growing some this summer. Hope they come out like what you had there.
Andrew S Awesome - so glad it was helpful!
Many thanks for your recipe , it was very helpful. I’m cooking it now.😊😊
FYI Reusable produce bags from Norwax are great for keeping greens. They are mesh and let the greens breath in the fridge and maintain the best humidity level.
Thank you so much for all the helpful information.
Thanks, that was useful. I'm actually cooking red chard tonight, fresh from my garden for the very first time.
Dani you're the best!
Great video Miss Spies! I still have the white stemmed Chard in my garden from last year. Some are 3’ tall. I guess I better get to eatin it? 😜🤓
Best series
YO SWISS CHARD TASTES AMAZING I JUST GOT SOME FROM MY GARDEN FOR THE FIRST TIME AND IT WAS GOOD ASF
I'm srsly growing only chard and lettuce next year cuz I hate other greens. MAYBE collards and mustards for cooking. Mustards grow supah fast tho they're nice.
love your hair and anthusiasm
enthusiasm
Thanks for this great informative video.
You are MARVELOUS !
I love using fresh giant thick succulent Chard leaves from my garden to wrap stuff. Even a burger instead of a bun I'll use Chard and wrap it up with the condiments
Thats a really good idea. I love using chicken and soy sour cream and soy shredded cheese with cut up veggies. That would go great with this.
Great suggestions and reminders! Thank you!
I see I am not the only one to add paper towels to my bags. :) They keep the greens green. :) Love your tips. Thanks for the great video.
Thanks great video and easy to do recipes 😊
Great tips! Thank you very much ❤
Really excellent videos.❤️
Yeah, this was incredibly informative!
very informative....
no wasted time (yours & mine) of chattering "fluff"
short sweet & to the point....
excellent!!!
i'll be looking up more of your stuff!!!
thanks,

eva Veva Glad you found it helpful!!
Excellent recipe Thank you Madam
Wow wonderful information, thank you.
That's straight to the facts, great work
I love your 101 videos! So useful!
Yay! I'm so happy you find them useful :)
Swiss Chard great raw! I use them as salads
great idea for the stems!
Great vid! I was hoping to learn about growing Schwish Chaud :) but this will help me when I harvest because I knew nothing about cooking and eating it or the many different kinds.
I've got so many of these plants I'll be cooking it daily
I throw the whole thing, leaf, stem and all (kale too) and blend em up with some frozen mixed berries & banana in my nutriblast, for an awesome green smoothie!
I lost 30lbs in about 6 weeks this spring drinking green smoothies for breakfast and lunch. Gonna do it again next spring because a huge green smoothie is way better for you and much more filling than a little can of slim fats or something like that.
Well presented and answered my questions.
Thanx Dani!!! You always deliver. Keep it up. 👍😀
I juice organic rainbow chard everyday :D its bright green juice that taste yummy with cucumber and green apple.
Excellent! Thank you!❤
Thank-you for your video very sweet short & to the point! Just what I like :)
I’ve always heard it pronounced “chard”, with the ch sound. This is a new one for me.
Tiny holes are allowed, it means that the bugs liked them and that they have not been sprayed with insecticides. I grow my own and when i pick my Swiss chard i pick all that i see, some with holes and some without it all tastes the same.
