To everyone’s surprise, when planted the beans germinated and the Anasazi beans now in cultivation are their descendants- a localized genetic survival from ancient days.

Are you looking for a quick and healthy wrap that’s maybe low in calories and more whole foods based? Or maybe you’re looking for a gluten or wheat-free sandwich option. Well, check out these raw veggie collard wraps!

I would recommend sticking with a thick creamy filling like avocado or guacamole, instead of using a fruit or vinegar based dressing, as the taste of collards is quite strong and with just a vinegar or lemon base it won’t really be that delicious. Unless you’re like a hard core raw foodist, in which case you probably eat raw kale by the bunchfuls… every day… Just kidding! Rock on! Serve this wrap with a raw soup, green salad, or fruit salad. I have seen some restaurants steam the collard leaves as well for those who prefer a milder taste (sort of like steamed cabbage in a cabbage roll), so that’s always an option if you’re looking for a softer texture in your wrap!
