My Title 'Sliced Greens' was all the packet 'said', apart from they were fron 'Simmons' Farm, in Cornwall. What 'they' didn't say was that, these 'Greens' were Delicious! I had them with sausages, 'rustic' mash and gravy... made with the 'greens' water. I could have maybe cooked them, a tiny tad, longer- a few 'hard' storks- but, for the First this Season.... Twelve, no Fifteen, out of Ten!
DO keep a 'Eye Open', for these, you won't be dis-appionted.

Hi Andrew, I’m guessing the greens were “mature” big leaves shredded. I found a definition, copied below. I agree they can be delicious and nutritious. But may I suggest that before cooking them you pick them over and pick out any larger stalks? If you have space you could always save them to make a vegetable stock with other vegetable peelings. I keep a bag in the freezer to which I add bits and pieces as and when I get them as I don’t make compost. You’re meal sounds lovely, it’s one of my husbands favourites.
“Collard greens are loose leaf greens, related to kale and spring greens. Spinach. Cabbage. Beet Greens. Watercress. Romaine Lettuce.“
Tesco uses the name Redmere Farm, Morrison’s Simmons Farm, not sure about other supermarkets. It’s a marketing ploy to make products seem more wholesomely good than they already are, and possibly local.
Described by Morrisons as 100% Sliced Spring Greens and in the UK "Spring Greens" means early growth cabbage, i.e. before the hard centre is formed. So only cabbage, but that doesn't stop it being tasty.
