Look for hearty, robust leaves that are attached to a strong, tough stem down the center.
Avoid any leaves them seem to be soft or wilting at all, or have any soft or slimy spots.
Look for a deep, dusky green color across the leaves, and a lighter color through the stem, which can even dip to purple on some varieties.
Avoid any leaves that seem to be going yellow brown.
Collards do best in a humid environment, so try wrapping in a moist cloth or paper towel before storing in a plastic bag.
