Collard greens, known as "super vegetables" abroad, can also be found on farms in Taiwan. Kale (Kale), which is rich in lutein, β-carotene and sulfur, is a common and popular vegetable abroad. It is a popular way to eat vegetables and fruits for breakfast or mixed into fresh lettuce salad. This trend has blown into China in recent years, but collard greens are mostly available in high-end supermarkets and almost all of them are imported from abroad.

In the past three years, the Hongxiang Tribe Cooperative Ecological Farm in Renai Township of Nantou has begun to plant kale in dark green, curled edges and feathery kale, which are not inferior to foreign countries in appearance and taste. At present, in addition to being sold in specific markets in Taipei, it is also about to be put on shelves in organic channels to provide more choices for domestic vegetables.
