About Braised greens

Braised greens are a flavorful and nutrient-rich dish made by slow-cooking leafy greens like collards, kale, mustard greens, or chard in a savory broth. Often seasoned with ingredients like garlic, onion, smoked meats, or plant-based fats, this dish has roots in Southern U.S. cuisine, though similar preparations can be found in African and Mediterranean traditions. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as fiber and iron, braised greens support immunity, bone health, and digestion. They can also be a great source of antioxidants. Depending on preparation, the dish may include added sodium or fats, so lighter recipes can be considered for a heart-healthier version. Whether served as a side dish or main component, braised greens are a delicious way to enjoy the wholesome benefits of leafy vegetables.
