FAQ: Perfectly Cooked Canned Collard Greens

Are canned collard greens actually good?

While I do think fresh collard greens are delicious, canned collard greens are one of the best canned vs. fresh substitutes in the vegetable market.

What's the best brand of canned collard greens?

I always purchase Glory Foods Seasoned Southern Style Collard Greens. You can get them at almost any supermarket. They are delicious + inexpensive.
