Fiddlehead Ferns

(Fiddlehead Ferns with Porcini and Prosciutto, see here)

Spiral-coiled gifts of spring, fiddleheads are among the most beautiful things to put on a plate. Be sure to cook them well; they are not to be eaten raw. It’s also important to get the sprouts from the ostrich fern and not other varieties. Look for a papery brown covering on the fiddlehead and a U-shaped groove on the inside of the stem. Fiddleheads can be found growing in clusters of three to twelve in damp soil, such as by rivers and streams. When harvesting, be considerate and only take half of the fiddleheads in a cluster, so the plant can still survive. They’re very high in manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, potassium, and vitamin C, and they have twice the amount of antioxidants in blueberries.
