The canned turnip greens were fine. Yes, I could go out and buy a
bunch of greens and cook them myself (with a bit of white vinegar) but
even a huge bunch cooks down to nothing. With the canned I don't have
to wash each leaf to get the sand out and then cut out the tough stems.
Canned is easier and tastes good.
