Sounds stupid, but can someone please take and post a picture of a couple of collard green leaves?

Before I got my BD we always used to buy 'spring greens' (I think there related to cabbage, so no good for BD's) and these things labelled only as 'fresh greens' for my other animals.

 Recently though, the supermarkets have not been stocking them, and weve had to resort to kale- which i know isnt good! Just the other day, these 'Fresh greens' have suddenly reapeared, weve got some, it says nowhere on the packet what they actually are! But I think and I hope, that they are collard greens. So basicly, I would be greatful if someone could post a nice clear picture for me to confirm if they are infact collard greens Smiley

These are collard greens, although I'd never bought them before a couple weeks ago.

This is way too much for Kiki. 

Does anyone know how to prepare collard greens for people?
