It's a leafy green veggie. Like Kale but taste different. Has a slight bitter taste. They are very popular in the south, where they are grown everywhere.

Most southerners cook them with salt pork or fat back but I have a recipe everyone should try.

Fresh Collard Greens- big ass bunch

in a big pot brown onions, portabello mushrooms chopped big and chunky and garlic in olive oil. Add all these according to your own taste. I like more shrooms then oinions.

Add collars and chicken broth- one large carton

Keep it on high to boil and give the collards a chance to boil down.

Add two cans or cartons of chopped tomatos juice and all. I like Pomi in the carton.

Add Italian seasoning: oregano, rosemary, basil any mix. Use it heavy. Add salt and ground pepper.

Now turn down to simmer and simmer 2 hours.

I promise you'll be cooking these all the time. I make greens of some kind at least twice a week and a big batch so I can heat 'em and eat 'em.

Works for Mustard and Turnip greens too.
