Collard Greens (UK Question)

herbwormwood said:

Can anyone tell me what exactly are collard greens? I live in the UK (Northeast) and I have never
seen them. I assume they are called a different name here. Are they the same as what we call
spring cabbage?

Collard greens are a hardy member of the cabbage family. I've heard them called "tree cabbage," but
Tesco had them listed as collard greens last time I was in the UK (I was *very* surprised to find
them). The leaves are dark green and very smooth. The stalks are very fibrous and tough. The pic
below is what they look like separated.

Collard greens are a green leafy vegetable, like spinach. They're not anything like what an American
like me would call "Cabbage."
