Collard Greens

[gissell]

I'm looking for the Spanish word for collards or collard greens. It's a green leafy vegetable similar to mustard or turnip greens.

[poli]

these things vary from country to country but "col" is used in the Caribbean. Some countries might not even use collard greens, and col
may mean some other cabbagey leaf like kale

[sosia]

In spain I think it's "col". We have other names for other versions, look for yours
"col, repollo, brécol o brócoli,la coliflor , colinabo, coles de Bruselas,brocoli chino"
If you know the botanical name, you can found it here

Interesting sosia, I didn't know all those plants were related and that they come from the wild mustard. Thanks for the link.
