\"CollardGreens_photo<\/a>As a purveyor of fine, Certified Naturally Grown local vegetables, there\u2019s one question I answer at least 300 times during every farmers market…Watch as the following scene unfolds:<\/span><\/p>\n

Local Shopper<\/strong>\u00a0(holds up bunch of greens)<\/em>: What do I do with this?<\/span><\/p>\n

Me<\/strong>\u00a0(smiles coyly)<\/em>: Why, if I were you, I\u2019d eat it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both laugh. Customer buys vegetable. I tell them how to prepare it…<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

A friend popped over to Mid-Town Market a couple of Saturdays ago in search of some good, organically grown veggies, picked up some collard greens and asked me, \u201cWhat do I with this?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

I dropped to my knees\u2014a la Scarlett O\u2019Hara\u2014and decided then and there, as God as my witness, I would do everything in my power to ensure that good, self-respecting Mississippians would never again have to ask what to do with a mess of greens! <\/span><\/p>\n

Hence: A Tutorial on Collard Greens.<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n
