Something you can make with Chopped collard greens
Origin
Collard greens, scientifically known as Brassica oleracea, belong to the same family as cabbage, broccoli, and kale. They are native to the Mediterranean region and have been cultivated for centuries. However, collard greens are particularly popular in Southern cuisine in the United States, where they have been a staple for generations. They were brought to the Americas by African slaves during the colonial period and have since become an integral part of African American and Southern cooking. Collard greens are typically harvested in the late summer and early fall when they are at their peak flavor and tenderness. They are known for their dark green, thick, and sturdy leaves, which are often chopped and cooked to create a delicious and nutritious side dish or used in various recipes.
