About Steamed collard greens

Steamed collard greens are a simple yet nutritious dish often found in Southern U.S. cuisine, though the greens are also prominent in African, Caribbean, and Brazilian cooking. Collard greens are leafy vegetables belonging to the Brassica family, similar to kale and cabbage, and boast an earthy, slightly bitter flavor that mellows with steaming. This preparation method preserves their nutritional profile, making them rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as calcium, iron, and fiber. These nutrients support bone health, digestion, and immune function. Naturally low in calories and fat, steamed collard greens are heart-healthy and ideal for weight management. To maintain their health benefits, avoid heavy seasoning with salt or fatty dressings. Instead, enhance their flavor with garlic, lemon juice, or a dash of olive oil for a balanced and wholesome addition to any meal.
