Collards Morris Heading
Botanical name: Brassica oleracea
Seed heritage: North Carolina, USA 1919
Morris Heading collards are an old-time southern American favourite, celebrated for their reliable supply of nutrient-packed leafy greens. This variety produces a large and upright, loose head of broad, blue-green leaves on short stems, that have a mild, sweet, cabbage-like flavour. While the leaves are traditionally braised with smokey meats, they can also be eaten similarly to other leafy greens by wrapping and stuffing, sautéing, or adding to soups and stews. Their tolerance to both cold and hot weather allows for a continual harvest of greens all year long.
