Steamed Fiddleheads Recipe

June 13, 2017

Steamed Fiddleheads on plateFiddleheads are a fern that are harvested as a vegetable. They are full of vitamin A and C as well as a good source of fibre and omega 3 fatty acids. They are a spring time vegetable that taste very similar to asparagus. I am steaming these but fiddleheads can also be used in soup, salad and pastas.

Thank you for this most informative post. I never knew, or even considered, that fiddleheads were edible. I'm certain they are not available in my area. Maybe a couple hours drive to a posh restaurant in Charlotte or Atlanta?

I have learned something, today. I will keep it in mind. If I ever have the chance to try steamed fiddleheads, i will do so.

Thanks, again.
