COOKING TIPS

In the kitchen.

2Sauté with garlic, chili flakes, and a splash of vinegar or lemon juice at the end to balance the flavors.
3Braise slowly with smoked meats like ham hock or turkey wings for a classic Southern-style dish.
4Young, tender leaves can be chopped and added raw to salads for a spicy kick.

STORAGE

Keep it fresh.

Store unwashed greens in a perforated plastic bag in the refrigerator's crisper drawer for up to 5 days.
For longer storage, wrap the leaves in a damp paper towel before placing them in a bag to maintain humidity and prevent wilting.
