Collard Greens - It's Good for You! image

Collards are among the oldest members of the cabbage family! Vegetarians can skip the bacon and use smoke flavoring and use a veggie broth in place of the chicken broth. I find this is one green that you do have to cook a while. The flavor is between cabbage and kale. They are low in calories. A rich source of fiber, vitamin C and calcium, and protects you against cancer.

I've been making this recipe for years and it's always a favorite. The collard greens are always tender and flavorful, and the broth is delicious. I like to add a little bit of red pepper flakes to the broth for extra flavor.

These collard greens were easy to make and very tasty. I used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth and they were still delicious. I will definitely be making this recipe again.
