Prepare Collard Greens for Cooking: Washing, Cleaning, and Cutting

[@johnvilgos3028]

Don't worry about the children in the background; I think that it is cute. Great job. I learned exactly what I was looking for.

[@Michelle-qu1ig]

I've been cooking greens for more than 50 years, never used peroxide and Lord help me if my mother found any yellowed greens in the pot. Several salt and vinegar washes are enough.

[@MelanatedHottie]

Michelle Williams agreed

[@jazzknowsbest]

Thats what i'm saying, peroxide????? Like really!

[@alicia9916]

Agreed.....

[@DocBlaksayno2gmo]

Water won't wash away bacteria

[@kgbjeff3]

Peroxide 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣don’t listen to this y’all. AND that is NOT how you wash greens!!! She crazy !!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jessicajernigan8390]

Don't mind any haters, girl. You helped me and my husband. Thank you!

[@anailm]

Thank you so very much for having the courage too make your video. Because, yes people can be so very mean. It's the pesticides. Very helpful video..

[@jerrymccreary531]

You are such a blessing!! You made everything so plain and simple, and your presentation was great. Thanks for sharing

[@jwhitten31]

Glad it was helpful!

[@libertyquerol7924]

Thank you for showing how to prepare Collard greens, you’re very kind and a good clean cook!!! Thank you very much!!!😃

[@AleapiaKuteFashion]

Funny how people were talking so much about her video but Doctors say this is how you should clean all Vegetables and Fruits it won't do any harm the water is more than what's she is using. Now nothing wrong with being extra clean especially to me !Thanks

[@leilasuki8833]

Adorable kids in the background! Loved your instructional style and detail. Thank you

[@kablevins]

Nice, thorough presentation. Impressed about the vinegar and peroxide solution. Never did that before. Thanks for your attention to detail.

[@loriearly8492]

Thank you for your expertise. I’m 58 years old and finally trying collard greens. I hope I love them 😍

[@JenGlave]

First time here harvesting and cooking my greens crop tomorrow. Thanks for all the knowledge. I feel more prepared after watching. Cheers!!

[@CertifiedBlackMale]

People can be mean but thank you for being brave. I am a male who wishes to learn the way to prepare these fresh greens and I have benefited from your effort,...... so Thanks "Good job"

[@jwhitten31]

Thanks a bunch for the kind words. I plan to put up more videos real soon. I'm glad you will be cooking great food for yourself and loved ones, good job to you too.

[@CertifiedBlackMale]

update cooked collard greens yesterday for my coworkers ..... some NEVER even had tried collard greens. I had rice chicken breast and jiffy corn muffins too they loved it too. Thank you again and I love to see a cornbread recipe.

[@MegaChocolate52]

Steven Barkley wash with salt and water several times

[@erikab1501]

Steven Barkley Thanks for being kind. Gee, people let her be. I am grateful for you being brave and show us with your busy schedule. I am also a lady that can’t afford organic. I do make my cleaning solution a bit different but I enjoyed your way also. I LOVE THE MASSAGE PART! In my culture I grew up with great cooks and I always cook with love and my meals always feel good. You can have organic and hate what you doing or just having a miserable personality, whats the point. Thank you for mentioning God. God Bless You!!! I also like the little voice of children in the background.

[@AnaYT714]

Awesome video! Thanks!

[@RoxannaSparkle]

Thank you. You gave me the information that I needed and you left me feeling good knowing there is such nice people in the world like you. :)

[@peterkoza4448]

great video. I just started eating collard greens and love them. thanks!

[@talentlover2]

Thanks very much for the clear and helpful instructions for making a cleaner for fruits and vegetables to clean them before cooking & showing me how to cook collard greens. God Bless You!

[@esharenee4186]

Girl you better be proud of yourself cause I am too! You just taught me hot to chop green. I normally get the already prepared and cleaned bags.

[@allyjaetv]

Loveeeeeeeee this video ! And i agree with your husband you’re doing a great job! I loved the commentary throughout the video !!!

[@amyterry178]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I had never made collard greens before, and it gave me all the information I needed!

[@diannekelly8803]

Just got my beautiful collard greens from my dads winter garden. Hes 89 and i watched your video to make sure my efforts to enjoy his hard work are the best. Thanks so much. You gave great info. Like to use all parts i can. You are awesome!

[@mariaspeight5267]

I learned how to wash & cut my collards! I will be making this solution to wash all my veggies & fruits from now on! Awesome video! Thank you!!!😍🤩

[@soilmanted]

That's not dirt you showed, that's the leaf dying. I would remove that leaf or cut out the yellow parts.

[@goldenyearsacres9163]

@Ready Teddy She did cut out the bad part & there was sandy grit, just hard to see on camera. If it was an all green leaf grit, may have shown up better & might have saved her advice from the "peanut gallery." Keep on cookin' & filmin' lady, you are doing great!

[@inluv4life79]

Thank you for sharing! I’d never thought about massaging my collards. I’m trying it tonight. I thoroughly enjoyed the kiddos in the background. Nice to know I’m not the only mom with rambunctious littles. Keep it up!

[@AH-wx1sm]

I watch this video every year at thanksgiving and Christmas-the 2 times I make huge batches of collards. I love it. Your voice is made for tv😊

[@jacksouthsky]

Yes I agree. She does sound like a white woman

[@inkwellness]

Girlfriend, Thank you for helping me with this. I'm trying to learn about contaminated. It's been killing me for 65 years. Thank Thank Thank you for going to the trouble. I love you and Collards

[@bishopclarke6616]

Peroxide and vinegar is overkill , water works just fine.

[@MrPokerblot]

Surely this girl is a cleansing lunatic lol

[@jachaiedwards74]

I agree. I just use acv

[@Stacey.planss]

Who the hell uses peroxide

[@busybodyhandmade1768]

😮those greens are no good. I've never heard of using poroxide to clean greens 😕. when they turn yellow that means their dying.

[@peaches7585]

YOU'VE DONE A AMAZING JOB. I JUST FINISHED CLEANING MY GREENS. THEY CAME OUT REALLY CLEAN. THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING. MY FIRST TIME CLEANING. PLEASE KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING :) NEW SUBSCRIBER.

[@wecan2cherylhorton603]

I love to eat them but I have never cooked them. I am learning how to eat like our ancestors did 200 years ago. I'm 64 and going to attempt to prepare and video tape myself at the same for my class. I've learned a lot from watching your video. maybe I won't look so bad now that I have watched you. Thanks

[@ZzQueLizZ]

Another great idea is to make a small grow box and grow your own greens and other vegetables so you know exactly how your vegetables were treated.

[@lexxwealthy5525]

Angelique Taylor can you give me tips on how to do this

[@judithnicholais1492]

Dark leafy greens, cruciferous vegs are so important for us --- cut out the latte in the morning ( I'm speaking to the general audience not you ) :) & spend the money to get them fresh & Organic as a real treat. Find a great market, talk to the owner and make that your special place for Special you and your Family Make them your main meal with a side O beans and corn bread. I quit smoking years ago and Now I say 9 bucks for organic veg ? -- so worth it. Nice vid ..

[@need4HIM]

My first time ever cleaning fresh collard greens. I looked at your video because I wanted a method to ensure clean greens. You are a very neat, clean worker. One thing though, I think it is probably best to remove all jewelry, (watch, ring) while preparing food. Thank you and keep up the good work!

[@WOODARICH]

You're so sweet, I am sure it shows in your dishes also. Learned quite a bit from this video. Thank you!

[@vharris2005]

thank you for the tips. I love it God bless keep up the great job sister in christ. be blessed.

[@nitawalker9687]

Thanks for sharing this procedure. I was lost when someone gave us some to cook.

[@elizabethhill2923]

Thank you for doing this video. Great video.

[@TheJill1017]

Thank you! I appreciate this video! I’ve never cut them myself. I have always bought the bag already cut

[@mnstewart74]

I love me some collard greens! They do you dirty, when I say that, it sends you to the bathroom quick! This video is very informative. Kids always make noise when you're on the phone or making a KZbin or Periscope videos

[@justthinking431]

+Michelle Stewart They are a fiber food which means you will go to the bathroom.

[@bahamababee]

We always remove the large middle stem to avoid that fast run to the bathroom! I'm surprised to see it included in the cooking. I know it is loaded with nutrients but I would chop and freeze and use only when constipated. :)

[@Arobinsc]

This was great, thank you!

[@gillianmuspic2337]

thanks so much for this very realistic video, cooking with the family there. I also appreciate your easy to make veggie wash. I also love how you sneak greens in with the dehydrated stems. Brilliant!

[@sheliawhite4624]

I love thoses stems.i can get thoses by itself it has lots of vitamin in them.thanks.

[@ninafreeman2109]

Love your video!! Real..... And encoraging. Love the kids in the back!

[@TymP321]

Okay... too drawn out for me to commit, but God Bless you for how you addressed your children while making this. 10 out of 10 for parenting. You seem to be a really great person. 👍

[@zedhead2338]

This is a great instructional video. This is how it should be done. I don't listen to the horror stories and don't use peroxide but the prep is really good.

[@jrobinson8898]

Thank you for the great video.❤️

[@MultiCandomble]

Thank you for the solution tip. I enjoyed your video.

[@sheliaallen2933]

Good video I never washed my greens with peroxide good to know.

[@tamarakennedy4976]

I use seventh generation all natural dish soap and i fill dishtib with a drop of soap to warm dishtub full and wash my veggies in that then pkunge into ice water then store..they last 10 times longer..i had cut up lettuce last 3 months in crisper by washing it the heat method..its what rrstaurants foid handlers do ..

[@papalegbasson2447]

Thank you for sharing.

[@toniweaver2732]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I have never cooked fresh from the farmers market.

[@davidgray2969]

Never saw peroxide so used but I don't know why not. Rough on bacteria and I use it as a mouthwash. It looks like a lot of collard cooking is done by African-Americans. They know what's good!

[@lisapizza1719]

The People on here are so Silly,Lolllll I liked the Video,Great Job Sis!!!

[@TrapKittyBeatz]

Thank you, this video was very helpful! I've never made collards before so here goes!

Thank you, GOD BLESS

[@Mommathatsmyname]

Great video! Thanks so much, been trying to eat more greens as a family and I appreciate your help!

[@jessicaanderson9333]

Thank you for this video! Making collard greens for the first time today for New Years luck! Lol I have a new respect for all that goes into preparing this dish!

[@sdavenport7538]

Excellent video

[@labrooks9]

You are good company, your voice is very encouraging. To share what you believe in means alot. I have only washed in water 3 times. To understand how to remove chemicals from vegetables was a learning moment for me. Thank you. My reason for posting this is my heart broke when I heard you say how mean people were, my heart dropped and the tears started coming out. Believe in yourself with all your heart.. sure reply to people but skip over anything that is not lifting you up. Don't stop being you. You have a gift, hope it rubs off on me. Happy New Year here we come 2022.

[@simplicitywithshantell2528]

Thank you for sharing this technique with us :)

[@kathleenfrederick6114]

Great video and I can tell you're a great, caring cook!

[@lstokes112]

anks for showing a noncooker how not to be afraid of cooking greens. my mom boiled the hell out of them

[@jwhitten832]

Lorraine Stokes Hope you were able to make them successfully. Its better to just buckle down and do it and get better with practice. Nice job incorporating it into your diet. We need all the greens we can get into our systems. Take care and God bless you and your loved ones.

[@TheDestiny4you]

Thank you ❤great info given

[@nathanielanderson4898]

This was a very helpful video. I love ❤ Collard Greens. But I am picky about the way they are cooked. Once a person has tasted the good stuff, it is difficult not to judge the way others cook collards. It is easy to mess them up if you don't know what you are doing.

[@1magnificentreg]

good tip on the "food grade" peroxide..

[@maurishawalker4984]

I love how you took your time out to do this video. You showed me something TOTALLY DIFFERENT! Thanks so much I'm using the strategy for Thanksgiving! Keep up the GREAT WORK! Have a safe and great Thanksgiving.

[@DGraham-i3y]

Simmered with fatback or hog jaw. Jiffy Mix Cornbread crumbled on top. You can sprinkle on some vinegar, or some Louisiana hot sauce. It's all good.

[@rodneyjones7803]

Great tips and tricks usually we always have our own jobs in the kitchen. Of course mine was not collards -- it was potato salad and rice ..lol but never messed with collards and now this year I am having to do it all..lol

[@kennethwright45]

Great job don't let the haters bother you did a great job I subscribe to your channel and will be looking forward to more videos

[@NovaScotiaLiving]

Great video. I'm starting to think about Thanksgiving these days lol I know crazy but we have it in October here in Canada and I love love love this holiday. Anyway I wanted to try and cook collard greens so this is super duper helpful. Thanks for sharing. ~ Tracey

[@rewnrosehaley-hatton1624]

Thank you so much wanted to add a 1/2 batch to my ham jocks n beans!

[@30deblanc]

Now I'm really careful about whose collard greens I eat. What happened to fill the sink up with water, put in greens, pour large amounts of salt in sink, scrub, swoosh around, drain water, redo previous steps once or twice, and move on? To much peroxide will kill a person.Only use it with Colgate and baking soda to whiten and cleanse teeth.

[@goddessintriptych7046]

Same. I went to a family gathering once and saw my aunt scramble eggs in a plastic ziploc bag before emptying the eggs onto a plate. For some reason it never occurred to them that they were pretty much consuming boiled plastic leavings.

[@louisbuice6530]

Thank you.

[@belisutton2379]

Very good job! Now what's the best way to fix them.

[@sewhappysarahr8912]

Sorry people are so rude. Thank you for sharing your method.

[@NadirahKofi]

I needed this. Thank you

[@preciousrichardson40]

You did a great job! Thank you

[@veestar9837]

Peroxide??? All I have ever used is apple cider vinegar?

[@kipcotv7465]

Funny - I do the burrito technique too - except I tear not cut. Love the stripping technique and washing (I use a teaspoon of dish detergent - yes detergent).

[@thedaydreamer7972]

nice video, I notice little tiny eggs on the bottom of my leaves, do you just wash those off? Can you eat these RAW? TY again

[@dandang8184]

what's the name of Collard green were you cooked? Thanks.

[@goldengirl208]

Great job! I learned a lot from watching you! Did you have to rinse the collards after the peroxide bath?

[@jwhitten31]

Hi, yes after the soak, make sure you rinse the collards off well. Thanks for your kind words, hope your thanksgiving was full of blessings with your friends, family and or loved ones. Take care and God bless. :)

Thank you so much! Great info ,-) Doing it now...

[@cinnimonjones143]

👌👌👌 great video!! I learned a lot..

[@johngichohi289]

But if you cooking a lot of collards, ( maybe about 5 bundles) how long will you take using this method? I bet close to one hour. I love collards, but I use so much time washing and cutting it. Is there any good machine to cutting them?
