Our Verdict
When comparing chard to kale, we picked the kale.
Why?
It wasn’t close!
In terms of macros, kale has more than 2x the fiber, carbs, and protein, winning this round easily.
In the category of vitamins, chard has more of vitamins B5, K, and choline, while kale has more of vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, and C, making a convincing win for kale.
When it comes to minerals, chard has more magnesium, while kale has more calcium, copper, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc; another easy win for kale.
Another thing to bear in mind is that kale has more polyphenols, including kaempferol and quercetin. So that’s another point in kale’s favor.
Adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for kale, but by all means enjoy either or both; diversity is good!
