We've been trying to make an effort to incorporate more greens into our diet lately, which has meant many bags of kaleidoscope chard from Trader Joe's. This time I decided to buy something new - the Southern Greens blend of mustard, turnip, collard and spinach greens. It cost $3.49 for the 16 oz bag, only a couple cents more per ounce than the chard we usually get.
We braised the greens with some tomatoes, garlic, chicken broth and spices. It took about 30-40 minutes to get the greens soft enough to eat. The greens were really tasty and so healthy.
One big difference is that the Southern Greens are more bitter and peppery than the chard. It's nice to change up the greens every once in a while, but we'll probably stick with the chard as our go-to green.
Buy Again? Sure, whenever we're looking for a break from our usual spinach, baby kale or chard.
