Place greens in cold water with one teaspoon of salt. Let set for about 10 minutes. Wash greens. Put in plain cold water, picking out any pieces that are bruised or broken. Break off all very large stems. Make sure you wash greens thoroughly, so they are cleansed or any sand or soil.
In a large pan, fry meat until browned. Drain off fat if you prefer a healthier meal. Add greens, water, and seasoning. Cover and cook for 1 1/2 hours on low heat, or until greens are tender. Use the leftover juice with greens and cornbread.
