DIRECTIONS

1. Wash your hands well with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. 
2. If not pre-washed and pre-cut, wash greens - Cut or tear the hard stems off the collard greens. Fill a large bowl with cold water. Put the cut greens into the water. Swish the greens around with your hands to wash off any dirt. If greens are still dirty, repeat this step. 
3. Lift the greens out of the water. Let the greens dry in a colander or on paper towels. Dry them as well as you can.
