Collards: Vates
(Brassica oleracea var. viridis)
Collards are a cruciferous crop (cabbage family) grown for the leaves. The wide, smooth, blue-green leaves of collards have a spinach-like flavor and are the highest in nutrients of the dark green, leafy vegetables.
A shorter variety than other collards, Vates is very productive, slow to bolt, and has good heat and frost tolerance.
