About Collards
Collards have been cultivated since ancient Greece, and their wide range of preparations include both roots and greens in sautés, soups and pickles.
A close relative of kale, most Americans associate this leafy green with the Southern culinary tradition – it’s an excellent complement to smoked meats, blackeye peas and cornbread. However, collards are traditional fair in countries as diverse as Serbia, India and Brazil, and it’s a staple of many African cuisines.
