The secret of the South is out: Collards are just not good; they're good for you.
It’s exactly as stated. These are powdered and taste like collards. Collards are a rich source of vitamins, minerals like iron and a good source of fiber. They’re also good for lowering cholesterol and generally maintaining good health.
There’s very little to say against collards. It is a good source of vitamin K and if your doctor advises against that due to your medications, that’s the only reason I can think of to not include these in your daily diet.
The combination of iron and vitamins are enough to keep me going longer and not tire out as quickly. This freeze-dried version works just as well but without the seasoning and salt.
I take it in about a half cup of water with sometimes collagen added in. It does taste green but not that bad. The first time I tried it, I didn’t add enough water and it was thick. That was too strong for me to take for the taste. Now, some will use this in making a smoothie and I’m sure won’t notice the taste but will notice the extra energy in a couple of days.
I am not much for liking single ingredient supplements/powders. I’m just not that person. I need to mix it will either apple juice or in a green smoothie or in a broth. Just plain with water was just to hard to drink. They are great since it’s freezes dried and mixed well in a smoothie since it’s a light powder.
I tried both the celery and the collard greens. Great price on organic freezer dried powders.
The expiration date on the celery is 11/2023 and on the collard greens it’s 9/23, more than a year away which is plenty of time to use the container.
So my mom recently made a Middle Eastern stew with chicken and she put some of this collard powder in mine and then I got to try it without after. I liked it better with the greens! It really adds a punch of zest to the soup and of course, you get that veggie in your diet. I also really like that this company does tests to prove they're single ingredient because I always worry about contaminants. Taste was fresh and they're clearly working hard to show the purity of their product. I stan it.
This is an excellent product. I've been trying quite a few of the so-called greens and/or fruit superfoods in powdered form and some are very good and some are rather questionable in terms of taste, processing, nutrition and quality. This one contains only one thing -- freeze-dried collard greens with the nutrition retained. I like collard greens but nobody else in my family does, so it is not something I have very often. I really should see if I can grow some in the garden (I don't really have much of a green thumb, but I can try). I was imagining something rather unappetizing but this actually tastes quite good. I am fine drinking it mixed into a glass of water, although I do have to add a little bit more water to the glass several times to get the last little bit (the powder seems to form a suspension rather than dissolve). It does make for a very vibrant green color in my glass!. I think it would be great in a soup or smoothie, too (I haven't tried that yet). The current price of $27.97 (I ordered the small size) seemed a bit high to me, since there is only 2.5 ounces in the container (the larger container is a much better deal, now that I know I like this supplement). But that 2.5 ounces is actually 71 servings (a little more than 1 TBSP) and each serving is roughly equivalent to 1 1/2 cups of collard greens. That is a very good deal in my book and I feel very good about taking this supplement.
This collard green powder has been freeze dried and is certified organic. It is of very good quality. I like to use dried vegetables in recipes and this is proving very handy on my shelf. It has a long shelf life and would make a good addition to your long term pantry. I do believe it is marketed more as a health supplement which probably accounts for the higher price.
