Collards: Champion
(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.

This variety is an improved Vates selection that has dark green large leaves that retain their eating quality up to 2 weeks longer than other Vates types.
