Collard Greens
Collard greens are sturdy, broad-leafed greens in the cabbage family. They have thick leaves and a mild, earthy flavor that becomes sweeter and more tender with cooking.
Collards are traditionally cooked slowly, but young leaves can also be eaten raw or lightly cooked. Their sturdy texture allows them to stand up well to longer cooking and makes them useful in soups, stews, braises, and wraps.
Where to buy fresh Collard Greens near you
Choose leaves that are firm, vibrant green, and free from extensive yellowing or damage. Smaller, younger leaves tend to be more tender, while large mature leaves are well suited to longer cooking.
