I like collards, and just assumed (because it seemed like the right thing to do) that you had to cook them to eat them. This year at the Carolina Farm Stewardship Conference in South Carolina I was proven wrong! I attended a presentation by FoodCorps service members about the amazing work they do across North Carolina connecting kids to real food, and their presentation included a hands-on demonstration and tasting of a recipe they make with kids in schools - raw collard wraps!  |

To my surprise (and I would bet to yours if you try it), they were super tasty! Thank you FoodCorps for opening my eyes to the wonderful world of raw collards!
Did you know that calorie for calorie, leafy greens like collards provide more nutrients than any other food! So what are you waiting for!?! Eat 'em up!
This month the Vegetable of the Month info sheet features the raw collard wrap recipe. Give it a try, and share your findings with other gardeners!
