Thanks Gail
For letting me know about Collard Green. I am not sure if we have them in
Canada, but I will have a look at our grocery stores

Collard Greens are a member of the Cabbage family. They have wide leaves
with a rib in the middle. They if cooked quickly like stir frying or
steaming are a wonderful source of soluble fiber and cancer fighting food.
The more younger the plant the more tender they are.
to clean them I fill my sink with clean water. I separate the leaves about
10 or 12 leaves makes half a pound.
I drop them in the water and swish them around for a few minutes.
Drain the water and do this two other times usually if there is any dirt
it gets rid of all of it.
(You don't have to do this if you use the frozen or canned ones)
then I let them sit for a bit in a strainer and drain off the water.
I love them in stews and traditional southern dishes but they lose their
health value do to the long cooking process.
