About Collard greens
Collard greens are nutrient-dense leafy vegetables commonly enjoyed in Southern U.S. cuisine, though their origins trace back to ancient Greece and Africa. This versatile green is part of the Brassica family, which includes kale and cabbage. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, collard greens are also a good source of calcium, iron, and dietary fiber, supporting bone health, digestion, and overall immunity. They are low in calories and contain antioxidants, which may contribute to reducing inflammation and supporting heart health. However, traditional recipes often incorporate ingredients like bacon or ham hocks for flavor, which can add sodium and saturated fat; lighter preparation methods can preserve their health benefits while avoiding these drawbacks. Whether steamed, sautéed, or incorporated into soups and sautés, collard greens are a nutritious addition to a balanced diet. Their robust flavor makes them a favorite in both vegetarian dishes and hearty comfort food recipes.
