Cabbage - Spring greens

Spring Greens in the UK are harvested from late February through to the beginning of June.Spring greens are actually young, tender cabbage plants and are sold as loose heads of thick green leaves. Spring greens do not have the hard core which is found in the middle of fully-grown cabbages. They tend to be conical in shape and quite loose leaved, often referred to as spring greens or collards.Spring greens are served cooked. Serve as a side dish with plenty of butter and seasoning to accompany lamb, game, pork, beef and sausages. Or add to soups, stir-fries or vegetable bakes.

Nutrition:

Spring Greens have fantastic nutritional qualities and are packed with minerals (potassium, sulphur, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and iron) and vitamins (C, A, B9, E and K).

Storage:

Fresh Spring Greens will store quite happily in the fridge for 7 days.
