Notes
How much collard greens do I need?
I use about 2 lbs of greens (about 8-9 leaves in a bunch). Which is also equal to about 14 cups of greens. Use less jalapeños or ditch them if you don't want your greens spicy, for instance sometimes I'll use about 1/2 tbsp of jalapenos for a little kick of heat.Nutrition
