Collard greens are a familiar southern
specialty. But did you know that they are
very low in calories, contain no fat, and are
packed with nutrients? A one cup serving has
10 calories, 1 gram of protein, 4% of your
daily dietary fiber, 6% of calcium, 20% of
vitamin C, and a whopping 50% of vitamin A!
Try frying bacon, sautéing onions and garlic
in the same pot, then adding chopped collard
greens and a can of chicken stock. Cook
about 30 minutes, or until greens are tender,
adding red pepper flakes, vinegar, sugar, and
salt and pepper to taste.
