Everwilde Farms - 1 lb Champion Collard Seeds - Gold Vault Bulk Seed Packet

This hardy collard is frost tolerant, very vigorous, and great for spring or summer greens! Widely adapted, this variety holds up well in the garden and produces large, dark green leaves with a mild cabbage-like flavor. Collard, sometimes known as wild or non-heading cabbage, probably originated in Asia Minor and the Mediterranean region. Europe eventually became familiar with this vegetable, though historians disagree as to whether it was introduced there by the Romans or the Celts. Collard became a valuable part of the traditional cuisine of the American South through the slave trade, when the slaves began preparing this inexpensive vegetable with scraps of meat for flavoring. This unique vegetable has become a unique symbol of Southern culture and tradition.
