if youre making a green smoothie, is it necessary to discard the spine? which ones are okay?
i saw a youtube video and the person threw in a red chard leaf with the stem!

sure, so long as it doesn't leave any stringy bits in your smoothie or it's not super bitter why not? it's totally edible.

well there's only one way to know if it's going to be bitter or not. taste it! just take a bite and juice that spine with your teeth.

I love munching on collard spines. And I do use the core of the pineapple when blended in a high speed blender, you can't even tell.
