Collard greens contain more than five grams of fiber in every cup. This means, in 200 calories, you are getting 85 percent of your daily fiber. The greens are known to lower your cholesterol. They support your cardiovascular system, reducing your risk of heart attack. They also reduce your risk of getting cancer. Here’s the mega nutrient list: vitamins K, A, C, B2, B6, B1, B5, E, magnesium, folate, calcium, potassium, protein, niacin, zinc, phosphorous, omega 3 fatty acids, iron, and pantothenic acid (whatever that is . . .). Point is, they are really good for you and taste good, too!
When you’re buying collard greens, go to the refrigerator case and look for greens with firm, unwilted leaves. The leaves should be a vivid deep green color with no signs of yellowing or browning. Small leaves will be more tender and milder in flavor than large leaves. When you get your greens home, place them in a plastic bag and remove as much of the air from the bag as possible. They should keep fresh in the refrigerator for about three to five days.
Ингредиенты
- 1 bunch of collard greens
- 4 slices of turkey bacon (Go ahead and use real bacon if you are feeling naughty.)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin coconut oil (or olive oil if you prefer)
- 1 small onion
- 1 tablespoon coconut vinegar (Use apple cider vinegar if you want; Iâm just super into the health benefits of coconut right now.)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- ¼ tablespoon hot red pepper flakes
- 8 ounces of low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
Инструкции
- Remove stems and center ribs from greens and discard.
- Cut the greens into bite-sized strips.
- Cook up your bacon; I like mine crispy. Chop it up and set it aside.
- Chop up your onion and put it in the pan with the oil for about 2 minutes until soft.
- Add all the rest of your ingredients except the bacon and let it cook for half an hour or until the liquid is pretty much gone.
- Add your bacon and dish up.
