About Collards, raw
Raw collard greens are among the most nutrient-dense leafy vegetables in the American South's culinary tradition. Protein content is unusually high for a leaf vegetable, fiber is substantial, and the fat is negligible. The leaves are thick and sturdy, standing up to long braises without dissolving entirely. Eaten raw they are tough and slightly bitter, but thinly sliced and massaged with acid they soften into a solid salad green. Their real power comes through when cooked low and slow with aromatics.
