Did you know?
- Japanese cuisine uses a technique called お浸し ('ohitashi') to prepare leafy greens, which involves blanching and soaking them in a dashi broth, a contrast to the slow-braising common for collard greens in the US.
- Because コラードグリーン is a loanword, you will rarely find it in a traditional Japanese cookbook or at a local vegetable market.
- Because コラードグリーン is a loanword, it is written in katakana, the script used for foreign words, which visually signals to a Japanese reader that the plant is not native to Japan.
