Are they the same as what we call spring cabbage? Collard greens are a hardy member of the cabbage family. I've heard them called "tree cabbage," but Tesco had them listed as collard greens last time I was in the UK (I was *very* surprised to find them). The leaves are dark green and very smooth. The stalks are very fibrous and tough. The pic below is what they look like separated. http://www.foodbooks.com/graphics/collards.jpg |

They're not anything like what an American like me would call "Cabbage." -Rubystars |
