  • Choose the right greens: Different types of greens have different flavors and textures, so choose the ones that you enjoy the most. Some popular choices include kale, collard greens, spinach, and Swiss chard.
  • Wash the greens thoroughly: Greens can be dirty, so it's important to wash them thoroughly before cooking. Rinse them well under cold water, and then shake them dry.
  • Remove the tough stems: The tough stems of greens can be difficult to chew, so it's best to remove them before cooking. Simply hold the green by the stem and strip the leaves off with your hand.
  • Cook the greens until they are tender: Greens should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of greens you are using. Kale and collard greens take longer to cook than spinach and Swiss chard.
  • Season the greens to taste: Greens can be seasoned with a variety of spices and herbs. Some popular choices include garlic, onion, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
