While visiting my folks in Florida this week, my dad shared this kitchen garbage bag full of organic collard greens that he received as a gift from a friend in turn for hosting a karaoke party! He juices them and said he doesn't know what else to do with them! This picture was to show how big they were, but then I thought of making this list of different ways to use them! Also, check out the link on their benefits. It is HUGE!
