Collard greens are packed with nutrition.  As other vegetables in the cabbage family,
collard greens provide anticancer properties.  They offer an excellent source of
vitamins B6 and C, carotenes, chlorophyll, and manganese.  One cup of collard greens
provides more than 70 percent of the RDA for vitamin C.  Collard greens are also a
very good source of fiber, and several minerals, including iron, copper, and calcium.  
They also offer a good source of vitamins B1, B2, and E.
