Collard greens are usually available from May through December in Washington State.
Collard greens are native to the eastern Mediterranean region and Asia Minor. Collard greens are the oldest known member of the cabbage family, dating back to ancient times. Instead of forming into a “head” like other cabbages, they grow in loose-leaved bunches.
