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?
Kohl does not mean leaf in German.
Then what’s the common part with rotkohl?
What do you mean by “common part”? Kohl is just cabbage. Rotkohl is red cabbage. Because it’s cabbage that is red.
Now you’ve made me hungry.
So the etymology answer is collard greens are cabbage greens because they’re in the same family.
