grits are a part of the corn kernal.....what you refer to as colli greens, is actually collard greens.  It is a plant similar to mustard greens, or kale, they are a leafy vegetable that grows like a green or red leaf lettuce.  They bear no fruit, just the greens.

Answer 3

Well I'm not from the "South" and this southern...or Mid West

cooking...but "grits" is like porrage....what I would call hot cereal and you can eat it hot in a bowl, or fry it in the skillet....etc.  My mother loved to fry it into patties.

The colli greens are just what they say greens...like spinach...but I'm not sure just which ones they cook...with bacon, etc....and like black-eyed peas are a very popular dish.  There are also

fried green tomatoes, yam fries, etc.

Depending on what part of the US you go to...the food has distinctive differances.

Answer 4

'grits' ain't groceries.  I'm sory I couldn't resist it's an old blue's song.

'Grits' is a warm porridge cereal made from coarsely ground corn.  People from the South tell me they put Jelly or Honey in it to sweeten it.

Collared greens are actually a bit more like cabbage then spinach, in fact they're part of the same family.

Here is a good link that defines collared greens and ways to prepare them.
