Collard greens: when it's in season and what to cook
Collard greens are usually at their best from November to March across much of the US.
How to pick it
Look for firm, dark green leaves without yellow edges or holes.
How to keep it
Refrigerate unwashed and loosely wrapped; wash well before cooking, since grit hides in the leaves.
Months are when each item is usually at its best across much of the US. Seasons start earlier in warm places and later in cool ones, and they shift from year to year, so your local farm stand or market is the best guide.
