This ingredient entry has me confused "kale [collard greens]" as I do not think of collards as a kind of kale. Am I confused?

Collard greens are part of the same Acephala group within the brassicas & fall within the same cultivar as kale from a horticultural perspective (& presumably from a culinary perspective too).

mjes, the 'collard greens [kale]' ingredient-variation pairing is a known mismatch in the EYB Ingredients database, so it's already on our needs-fixing list. Until we can get the two ingredients untangled without adversely affecting recipes already indexed with either one or the other, just select whichever ingredient you need to index from the drop-down -- either stand-alone 'collard greens' or the 'collard greens [kale]' variation if you want 'kale' -- and that's what will appear in the indexed recipe's list of ingredients and will stay associated with the recipe once we separate them in the Ingredients database.

Thanks for both answers. I'm happy to know both.
