    Frequently asked questions about collard greens.

    How Do You Get the Bitterness Out of Collard Greens?

    To reduce the bitterness, try boiling the greens in a large pot of salted water for 20 minutes. This is called 'blanching'. This helps to draw out some of the bitterness. After boiling, you can drain the greens and season them with butter, garlic, onion, and spices to add flavor.
