After 3 weeks, we are finally back on our organic produce delivery schedule! I picked up my box on my way home from work and I've just finished putting everything away. Overall, I'm pleased with the contents. There's really just one thing that I could do without. This week's box contained: carrots, purple potatoes, broccoli, green beans, eggplant, bell peppers, roma tomatoes, green leaf lettuce, collard greens, Pink Lady apples, mandarin oranges, strawberries, and bananas. We will happily eat all of the above produce except the collard greens. We don't live in the South and haven't yet found a way to cook them that makes them palatable to us. I usually wind up feeding some of them to my parrot and then putting the rest in the compost bin. Does anyone have any good ideas for how to prepare collard greens?

I'm not sure what collard greens are. This sounds a lovely mixed box of produce.

I like everything except the collard greens! I am so over them. We get them like once a month and we just don't eat them. They absolutely aren't common in this area. It is making me nuts.

@NJChicaa They are probably easy to grow and fill up the order nicely.

I used to work with a girl who made the best collard greens. Aren't they a bit similar to spinach?

The leaves are much thicker and more similar in texture to cabbage.
