Comment on Why are collard greens called greens is it the color? And if so how come there is not a rainbow of different colored collards?

Without checking the etymology, I’d guess it comes from German, where ‘kohl’ is a root meaning leaf, as in coleslaw or kohlrabi.

So collard greens would just be leafy greens.
