Do you eat the collards from the collard wraps just as it is, or do you soak them in warm salt water or something?

I'd rather eat vegan and look like a tree than eat cow and look like a pig.

I do not know other people's methods but usually I soak them in warm water with juice of a lemon for 10 minutes then I dry the leaves off with paper towels and using a knife thinly slice down the central stem (to make it easier to bend the leaves for wrapping) plus that central stem sometimes tastes bitter.

P.S... Gianni, I posted on your visitor board.Last edited by Cookie Monster Gone Raw; 12-25-2012 at 12:31 PM.

I do it according to Alissa's instructions in Living On Live Food. All you need to do is to wash it and cut the vein of it to the leaf so that it folds. No presoaking is required.
Here's Alissa's roll from my Certification Class:
Notice the cut off stem off on top of the other Collard leaves over on the right...

Thanks for the information on the collards (couve). By the way, my dog just loves eating collard stems.

My 20-pound labradoodle absolutely loves kale and collard stems. Whenever I'm cutting them off, she hovers around until I give them to her.
