I prefer to cook them no longer than about 6 minutes, just to loosen the cell walls; I think cooking them longer than that is just excessive and drains the nutrients out of the cell walls of the greens.

That’s great if you can get them down, but my serving size, being the same as your serving size, contains more leaves that are juicy and tender to eat. I think most people would prefer. How could anyone start out on blanched greens? You would never eat them twice. LOL

Thanks for watching,

Dave

Hello What is the best time to cook the green to have the most highest vitimains in the collards thanks

[jaybobed]

Well it depends on who you ask. Most people say to only blanch the greens for about fifteen minutes or you will cook out all the nutrients. BUT if you only cook the greens for that amount of time the cell walls of the greens will keep all the nutrient locked in and your body does not have what it takes to break down those cell walls. So, I cook the greens until they are tender and juicy. I will admit the most of the nutrient goes into the juice, but it is still there. Cornbread for the Juice

Nice video. Very educational. BUT... I would have liked to seen the "finished product"!

[jaybobed]

Yeah, I know but the finish product is in many of my videos. That was the reason for this video. I use collards so much on my vids people asked how I cook them. I am doing a Collard Green update and I will be sure to include the finish product.

Thanks,

Dave

We will either but 1/2 tsp of baking soda or a 1/2 cup of sugar to cut the acid that are in this type of food same for mashed sweet potatoes.

Great video. My brother gave me a smoked ham steak. I'm going to make my collard greens tomorrow. My African American friends always freak out that I cook greens cuz Im white. Lol White ppl don't know what they're missing!

[Cicily King]

I love that you educate your viewers..we don't have the ability to unlock the nutrients to eat greens after 6 minutes..if you can chew them
