Big, green, and leafy, Collard Greens (Brassica oleracea var. viridis) was designated as the official State Vegetable by Act Number 38 of 2011, as a result of efforts by Mary Grace Wingard, a third-grader from Lexington, South Carolina. South Carolina ranks second in the nation in collard green production.
