Collard greens

[53' Stude]

I personally like collard greens and mustard greens and spinach and kale. I have had the best collard greens in North Carolina and Louisiana also. Might make some this weeekend. How do you folks make yours?

Thank You

Not sure where to find them. Does Popeyes still have them?

Kale and Swiss Chard have been staples in my house for a few years which replaced spinach. I prefer them in soups/stews, sauté, and salads (https://www.menshealth.com/nutrition/a19522133/make-healthy-hearty-kale-salad/).

I've never made collards but it's always a side whenever we go out for BBQ.

I prepare and eat them like I would spinach or kale, cooked or raw. I also put them in my blender and make green monster vegetable smoothies

From a nutritional perspective, collard greens, mustard greens, spinach and kale are some of the best possible vegetables you could eat!

I absolute LOVE stewed greens. A little vinegar while they cook and some salt and pepper after is all they need.

I keep it simple. Salt, pepper & bacon. Mustards are my fav.

Great, now I'm gonna have to stop by Sprouts on the way home and get 2 bags. Guess what's for dinner!

Add a little water, smoked hog jowls, a little sugar and some Louisiana brand hot sauce.

I've bought canned seasoned greens, the Glory Foods brand and it's pretty good. Worth trying.

I’ve tried them. They tend to be too salty and contain more stems than leaves. Margret Holmes brand is a little better.

Sauted with bacon, Sausage or ham is great.

I have grown both collards and kale. The cabbage worms in NC prefer collards over kale so I still have a few Siberian dwarf kale growing . Kale needs more cooking else it is fibrous and tough. I don't mind if it is seasoned correctly.

I'd rather spinach or kale but they'll do in a pinch. I steam in chicken bouillon or broth, then top with sauteed onions, garlic, bacon and vinegar. Gotta be fresh not canned. Frozen, somewhere in the middle, I'd eat frozen if there was a shortage or something.
