🥬 Product Name: Collard Greens (Cải Rổ) 300g +/-10g
Scientific Name: Brassica oleracea var. viridis
🩺 Medicinal value: In traditional folk medicine, collard greens have been used to support digestion and are taken by mouth as a general tonic; scientific evidence for these specific medicinal claims is limited, though its high vitamin K, A, and C content is well documented to support bone, skin, and immune health.
👉 Harvest Date: Seeds germinate in 3–5 days; leaves are ready for first harvest around 40–45 days after sowing, once plants reach roughly 9–18cm; outer leaves can then be picked continuously from the bottom up as the plant keeps producing new growth from its central crown
💚 Natural flavors: Broad, dark-green, irregularly lobed leaves on thick upright stems that don't form a head like cabbage; flavor is mildly bitter and earthy like other brassicas, becoming sweeter and more tender in cooler weather and when leaves are picked young

- Note: Collard greens (cải rổ) are a distinct crop from the more common cải bẹ xanh (mustard greens) grown in Vietnam, though both belong to the Brassica family — collard leaves are larger, smoother-edged, and milder-tasting. Nutrition figures above are well-documented via USDA and Nutritionix directly for this vegetable, unlike some of the other niche crops covered in earlier cards.
