How do you preserve fresh collard greens?

Hellooo, I'm pondering over how to keep collard greens fresh for longer. Recently picked up a bunch from the local market, and they're as crisp as can be. Problem is, I can't use them all at once. Do you have any tips for preserving their freshness? Some wrap it in paper towels and storing in the fridge, but is that the best way? Maybe there are some old-time methods or nifty hacks out there. I'd love to hear your experiences or any advice you've got!

Hey! Try wrapping those fresh collard greens in damp paper towels and stash them in the fridge to keep them crisp for longer.

I find that freezing and blanching fresh collard greens is a great way to store them for later use, but be sure to drain and pat dry any excess moisture before freezing. While preserving collard greens is a preferred method by some, I believe freezing better preserves their flavour and texture. It's also easier for home cooks.

Hey! When it comes to preserving collard greens, I think blanching and freezing is a great option. It helps lock in freshness and nutrients, though it might take a bit of time upfront.
