Collard greens are dark green, smooth-textured, leafy vegetables from the cabbage family with a hearty, somewhat bitter taste that is softened by cooking. They have broad, fan-like leaves with noticeable light-colored veins and stems. A popular item in Southern cuisine and soul food, they are typically boiled or braised with meat, though they can also be steamed, sautéed, or used raw in wraps and salads.
