    This looks tasty. I'm American my mom born n raise in the state of Virginia and she mentioned this vegetable rape. Like most black Americans know collards but my mom says she never had collards til she moved north. Lol. Anyway is there another name for it?? I mention it to ppl and they look at me crazy. I would love to try it. Tfs, love from N.Y.

      Hi Lorraine, Wow I had no idea that Collards and rape are the same. I've been looking for a different name for the some time now but so far nothing

      No, they are different. "Zambian rape" is actually rapini/broccoli rabe. You can find it in the USA, but you need to know the right name.

      @@tspier2 The thing is" collard greens" is a broad term it means "wild cabbage" and there are many collard greens like Kale, spring greens, broccoli and white and red cabbage, every country uses a different staple this also why alot of africans will fight over what collard greens are because they don't know it's a plant species and not the actual plant

      Hi, I would suggest Kale thats the closest vegetable i've found here in Canada that seems to work. However in the UK I am sure if you find a local african store they should have some

      Chloe stables, I am a Zambian living in England for some time now.the best alternative to rape vegetable in the UK are mustard leaves. They are so similar but softer.the Indian people eat mustard leaves a lot. The punjabi people use a lot of it making a very delicious good called SAAG. They mix in other vegetables but mustard leaves are the main greens. Go to Southall, Wembley or areas with a large Indian population and ask for SAAG leaves or mustard greens. Another guy that sells the original rape vegetables in England is a Zimbabwean journalist who became a farmer and sells rape, African sweet potatoes, the white corn that we prefer, maize meal for nshima and other southern African foods. His farm is called Mwanaka farms. They also do home deliveries if you order online... Hope you get what you want from them.

    What is rape called in english? Or in other countries. Is it spinach? Bok choy? Chinese cabbage?

      Yogita K Rapeseed Information What is rapeseed? Rape plants (Brassica napus) are members of the brassica family, which means they’re closely related to mustard, kale, and cabbage. Like all brassicas, they are cool weather crops, and growing rape plants in the spring or autumn is preferable.

    No , what I'm saying is they are different. My mom never had collards til she moved to north. She had rape. Most black Americans have collards. Most never had or heard of rape. Sorry for the confusion. Tfs. Also there is mustard greens, turnips green too, so yummy

    Is it always that you should boil veges before cooking them completely?

    • @kasikwagoma6740
      @kasikwagoma6740 3 роки тому

      Pockets, it all depends on the vegetable you are cooking. For example spinach cannot be boiled because it cooks in under 5 mins, it is that tender.
