Welcome back to another enriching episode of Black in the Garden with host Colah B. Tawkin and co-host Plant Zaddy.

Indulge in a flavorful and historical exploration of collard greens (AKA Black Pant Fave), a symbol deeply rooted in Black culture. From their African origins to their modern-day presence in soul food and contemporary cuisine, collard greens carry a story of resilience, survival, and tradition.

We’ll uncover the African origins of collard greens and explore how enslaved Africans used their agricultural knowledge to cultivate them. We also dive into the collards’ journey after emancipation, touching on New Year’s celebrations and everyday meals. Collard greens are rich in symbolism, representing prosperity, community, and a deep connection to ancestry.

Join us as we honor the history, culture, and continued relevance of collard greens in the Black community.

Special shoutout to food historian KJ Kearney and Tassili's Raw Reality Café!
