A cut above other collards with unmatched sweetness and meaty yet tender texture. Simmer or braise broad, smooth, uniform dark-green leaves in savory slow-cooked meals, or use them as nutritious grain-free wraps. A cool-season alternative to kale, ‘Top Chop’ brings more calcium and less bitterness. Even more flavorful after a light frost. Plants overwinter in the South and have excellent bolt resistance.
