Collard Greens

(1/4) > >>

I planted Collard Greens in my back yard and just found out that you can use these enormous leaves as a wrap for sandwiches.   Just have to take out the thich stem up the middle of the leaf.   I also found out that one cup of the greens (I use raw) are 2 grams of carbs and 1 gram dietary fiber - not bad.  If anyone comes up with a different gram count, please advise.  So, I smothered cooked squash smashed in the leaf along with brocolli from the garden cooked and other greens of choice.  I have to admit, I am not a vegetarian, but have pondered the thought of becoming one, except I love my vennison too much!  Oh well, so much for that!

That is about right, ereino.
They're actually about 1/2 gram per cup (raw, chopped).

Collards are VERY high in fiber and good for you! ;D

Not to mention EXTREMELY Delish!  What a great discovery!

Another thing about planting Collard is that they taste better once they have been through a few frosts, which then brings the sugars up into the leaf.  Hmmmm sugars...is that a deterent?  Tony, what do you think?
