Are collard greens good for you?

[Taverner]

Sure there's a little oil and salt, but on the whole, aren't they good for you?

1. Very good indeed.

Unless you cook them with lots of bacon or "pot liquor".

[Taverner]

4. Well I think there's plenty of that in this...LOL

They put the snips of the ribs in there, and it's salty as hell
Still really good tho

6. Thanks, that's even better than what I read. I'll buy some this week.

3. Not that bad in a smoothie, either. Not that good, but not so bad you can't drink it.

I liked them with baked sweet potatoes, yellow cornbread and blackeyed peas. But that's just me. It takes a lot of flavor to match up to collards. They're high in minerals.

5. Collard Greens and Sweet Potato Smoothie?

I .... guess it could be good...

[freshwest]

7. No, that's the cooked meal, not the raw one... It's the old New Year's Day superstition.

8. Yes...the frying them in bacon fat....

Not so much.....

13. I prefer Turnip Greens

I grew up eating them boiled with a bit of bacon and a dash of salt. My dad taught me to give my serving a couple of splashes of Bruce's Tobasco Peppers in Vinegar:



Yummo!

At home, I just boil them a bit then add a pat of butter and a couple shakes of lemon pepper.

14. No.

They're not.

:rofl:

15. nutritionally yes. Tastewise I never had them where they tasted good.

[raccoon]

16. Very good, and if you don't eat them, you'll probably get cancer. nt
