I feel really weird -- remember the Jolly Green Giant?? He knows best see below.
Oh, yes dear, you hurt my feelings by leaving out KALE!! So starting with kale: a mild cabbage-like taste and delicate texture; mustard greens: most pungent of the cooking greens and lend a peppery flavor to food; collars:similarity to cabbage, flavor of collard greens is enhanced by a light frost; AND turnip greens: a sharp flavor!!!!
I prefer to cook them together (collards first -- they're pretty hardy, then add the others) with a ham hock, fat back, or bacon fat. (If I have offended your modern health concerns, try olive oil with pancceta.)

Mustard And Turnip Greens
2016-11-13 02:29:57 · answer #2 · answered by dorval 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
they all come from different plants. Turnips, mustard used for the seeds but you can also eat the foliage and collards I don't know. Usually with turnips you wait until you harvest the tubers and also keep the leaves. Mustard is kind of spicy, turnip is real cabbagy and collards are tough and musky.

Turnip greens are the leaves of the turnip plant. Collard is a plant all by itself, in the cabbage family.

They are different plants and taste differently mustard tends to be the most spicy flavored of them all collard is a bit more mild and turnip the mildest of all.

Collards are the darkest of all the greens. They have a cabbagy texture to them. Their leaves are large and the stems are very thick.
Mustard greens are the lightest in color. Their texture is sort of like fragile lettuce. The stem is semi-thick.
Turnip greens are a medium-green color. Their texture is like lettuce.
If you just boil them, they do have a distinct taste; however, most people season them heavily.
I hope that helps!

They are all the leaves of plants, each have their own flavors. some are harsher some milder. My hubby says that collards rock. I say mustard rules!

Not much, really. They are all dark and slightly bitter. You can substitute one for the other.
