Guest guest Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Now here's a good question. Can one cook collard greens, kale, and bok choy all at the same time? A big green pot thing going on? Anyone ever do this?

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 They are best after they've been hit with a frost. Oh, and there are two leaf types --smooth and curly-- and there are fans of one or the other but not usually both.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Yes - yes - yes and yes! I picked collard greens today and my wife steamed for about 20 to 25 minutes. There were some broccoli plants close by and I used some of those leaves, because they are edible ew Re: Re: Re: Ok everybody thanks n. I have never tasted mustard greens.
