Add spring greens at the end of a stir-fry, or use in winter soups and stews. They are delicious sliced, steamed and drizzled with melted butter. Take care not to overcook, as the leaves will develop a rank flavour and smell.

"Spring Greens are similar to kale, in which the central leaves do not form a head or form only a very loose one, and are grown primarily in northern Europe where its tolerance of cold winters is valued for an early spring supply. Spring greens are extremely similar, genetically, to curly kale and collard greens. They are also rich in vitamin C, folate and dietary fibre, making them a very healthy food"
