Content: Start with fresh greens - as fresh as you can get. Step 2 - Wash the greens! I'm sure you can figure out how to rinse the leaves in plain cold water. I use a large bowl of cold water and a colander to let them drain. Step 3 -Hull the greens
Cut off any woody stems. or damaged pieces
Step 4 - Get the pots ready
Get the pot of boiling water ready (about 2/3 filled) and a LARGE bowl with ice and cold water. Step 5 - Blanch the greens. All fruits and vegetables contain enzymes and bacteria that, over time, break down the destroy nutrients and change the color, flavor, and texture of food during frozen storage. greens requires a brief heat treatment, called blanching, in boiling water or steam, to destroy the enzymes before freezing. Blanching times for collards is 3 minutes and all other greens 2 minutes..
Begin counting the blanching time as soon as you place the greens in the boiling water.
