The major differences between collards and kale stems from their appearance and flavor. Collards have a medium green hue, an oval shape and smooth texture. Kale on the other hand is darker with grayish green broad leaves that are crinkled. Kale is also the stronger tasting of the two, thicker, chewier leaves, can taste a bit bitter compared to collards.

What can you use instead of kale?
You can use other greens, such as Swiss chard, collards, or spinach. But be aware that the different greens may take different times to cook, because some of them have a tougher leaf that takes longer to get soft. Spinach cooks the fastest, then chard, then kale, then collards. It may not matter, depending on what you're making.

What are collards?
Collards, along with kale, cabbage, kohlrabi, cauliflower, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts are all varieties of the same species, Brassica oleracea. The only difference between these plants are the differences that humans introduced over thousands of years of selective cultivation. Collards are part of the family known botanically by the name Brassica oleracea acephala which translates to "headless cabbage vegetable."Collards are the favorite green of the American South, especially in the winter, after the first frost. If grown during hot summers, collards develop a strong bitter flavor. They are often prepared with other similar green leaf vegetables, such as kale, turnip greens, spinach, and mustard greens in "mixed greens" or "mess o'greens." Many Southerners believe that they can look forward to a year of good fortune if they eat collards and black-eyed peas on New Year's Day. Others might hang a fresh collard leaf over their door to keep bad spirits away, and a fresh leaf on the forehead is said to cure a headache.

What is the history of collards?
Collards originated as a primitive non-head-forming cabbage, the wild Brassica oleracea plant, in the Mediterranean region, over 2000 years ago. Ancient Greeks grew kale along with collards, and the Romans grew several kinds of collards before the Christian era. Julius Caesar is said to have eaten a generous serving of collards after attending royal banquets to prevent indigestion . Either the Romans or the Celts introduced the vegetable to Britain and France in the 4th century B.C.In America, the first mention of "coleworts" (collards) was around 1669. Enslaved Africans in the southern American colonies embraced collard greens in their cooking. African Americans developed recipes for the fast-growing collards, and a style of cooking that eventually evolved into what we know today as "Soul Food." They kept at least one tradition from Africa: drinking the juice, called pot liquor, left over from cooking the greens.Collards are also called couve in Brazil, couve-galega or "couve portuguesa" (among several other names) in Portugal, kovi or kobi in Cape Verde, berza in Spanish-speaking countries, raštika in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia and raštan in Montenegro and Serbia. In Kashmir, it is called haak.Although they appear very different, collards, kale, cabbage, kohlrabi, cauliflower, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts are all varieties of the same species, Brassica oleracea.
