QuestionAfter storing fresh-cut collards in a zippered bag in the refrigerator for three days, they began to have an odor. They look fine and smell OK after washing. Should I still use them?Community AnswerYes. Plants sometimes do start to smell, but if the collards were bought and refrigerated for only three days, they should be fine.

QuestionWhat if you buy the collard greens from the grocery store, where they are cleaned and soaked already?Community AnswerThey should be fine in the refrigerator as long as there is no water on the surface of the leaves. Seal them in a bag with a paper towel to soak up the moisture, or wrap the leaves in a dish towel or paper towel to absorb any moisture. However, if there is water pooled up on the leaves, pat them dry with a paper towel before putting storing them.
