  1. Sounds tasty! The flat leaves you have in the photograph appear to be collards. Kale has curly leaves. But both are nutritious, delicious dark leafy greens.

    • Well, according to Wikipedia and the photos I have looked at, the green vegetables I have used are chard. Now I need to change the post heading. Thanks for pointing out the mistake.
