Food Focus: Collard Greens

Collard greens are very well known in the South and I am going to share with you a true Southern recipe. Collard greens have a very mild flavor and are great in soups and stir fry. In my house we love to pair collard greens with red meat. They are available year-round, but are at their best from January through April.

Collards are a nutritional powerhouse. They are an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin C, manganese, folate, dietary fiber, and calcium. In addition, collard greens are a very good source of potassium, vitamin B2 and vitamin B6, and a good source of vitamin E, magnesium, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B1, vitamin B5, niacin, zinc, phosphorous, and iron.
