Fresh Rec Stop Recipe of the Month: Stuffed Collard Greens
By Garrett Simpson, NASM-CNC, Community Health Leader
Stuffed collard greens pack a surprising nutritional punch thanks to their simple, wholesome ingredients. Collard greens themselves are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, supporting immunity, bone health, and digestion. Fillings like rice or grains provide lasting energy, while aromatics such as garlic and onions offer anti-inflammatory benefits. Green bell peppers contribute vitamin C and antioxidants that support immune health and cellular protection. Together, these ingredients create a comforting dish that’s as nourishing as it is flavorful.
