Collard Greens
Collard greens are various loose-leafed cultivars
of Brassica Oleracea (cabbage family) and are also part of the Acephala group of
the species, which include kale and spring greens. Collard greens belong
to the cruciferous family, and several studies have analyzed the health
benefits of cruciferous vegetables may have anticancer effects.
Research shows that people with a high intake of
cruciferous vegetables have a reduced risk of developing certain types of
cancers including prostate, breast, colon, bladder, lung and ovarian cancer.
There are many ways to cook collard greens;
my favourite is stir-fried with eggs, pork or beef and add some cooking
wine. This simple way of cooking make this dark greens and one of the
healthiest vegetable among the most favourite dish on my dining table
