RE: Collard Greens

Yes, Adam, tis true,
Brassicas are sweetened by frost. As are carrots.
Why do people dislike store-bought Brussels sprouts?
Because they are grown in California where there is no real frost (and
possibly in nutrient-depleted soils).
Organically grown Brussels allowed to endure a frost or two are tender and
sweet! MMmm!

I'm willing to bet that people would eat more vegetables if they were grown
properly, locally, harvested properly and tasted like vegetables!
