Collard greens are a good source of Protein, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Iron and Magnesium, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol), Vitamin K, Vitamin B6, Folate, Calcium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Copper and Manganese.

  14. Looks good! What a healthy dish!

    By the way, I agree with you about placing children on diets. The best way to help children maintain a healthy weight is to model the way for them as parents.
