Collards are good for pregnant women as choline present in it helps in brain development of the growing baby. Choline also contains calcium which helps in the bone development and skeletal mineralization of the growing baby. Besides, the fibre present in choline relieves you of constipation, a common complaint during pregnancy. Vitamin A aids in the development of vital organs such the heart, liver, and kidneys of your baby. Just make sure to wash collards thoroughly before consumption as they may contain bacteria.
