Today I learned

Origin of the Name "Collard"​

The term "collard" is derived from the medieval word "colewort," which refers to non-heading brassica crops. This name reflects the plant's characteristics and its classification within the Brassica family.

Meaning of "Acephala"​

Collard greens belong to the Acephala group of the Brassica oleracea species. The term "Acephala" translates to "without a head," indicating that collard greens do not form a tight cluster of leaves like cabbage. Instead, they have a loose-leaf structure, which is a defining feature of this vegetable.
