Collard greens are a cherished staple in Southern cuisine, often served stewed with ham hocks and bacon. These nutrient-rich greens, with their deep green hue, are packed with vitamins and minerals. While traditionally enjoyed in cooked dishes, collard greens have become increasingly popular in salads, wraps, and as a standalone side dish. This guide will walk you through the benefits of hydroponic collard greens, how to grow them, and how to enjoy them in your kitchen.

What Are Collard Greens?

Collard greens are members of the same family as kale, turnips, and mustard greens. They have large, thick, dark green leaves that are slightly bitter. Collard greens are rich in Vitamin K. Because they are so high in vitamins and minerals, people historically used them to fight disease.
