| Description |
Wikipedia Fiddleheads have antioxidant activity, are a source of Omega 3 and Omega 6, and are high in iron and fibre.[2] The fiddlehead resembles the curled ornamentation (called a scroll) on the end of a stringed instrument, such as a violin. It is also called a crozier, after the curved staff used by bishops, which has its origins in the shepherd's crook. Varieties The fiddleheads of certain ferns are eaten as a cooked leaf vegetable. The most popular of these are: Bracken, Pteridium aquilinum, found worldwide Ostrich fern, Matteuccia struthiopteris, found in northern regions worldwide, and the central/eastern part of North America Cinnamon fern or buckhorn fern, Osmunda cinnamomea, found in the Eastern parts of North America Royal fern, Osmunda regalis, found worldwide Zenmai or flowering fern, Osmunda japonica, found in East Asia Vegetable fern, Athyrium esculentum, found throughout Asia and Oceania Fiddleheads' ornamental value makes them very expensive in the temperate regions where they are not abundant. Sources and harvesting Though available regionally in some supermarkets and restaurants, fiddleheads aren't cultivated and are available only seasonally. In rural areas, fiddleheads are harvested by individuals in early spring. When picking fiddleheads, three tops per plant is the recommended harvest. Each plant produces seven tops that turn into fronds; over-picking will kill the plant. Maintaining sustainable harvesting methods is important in the propagation of any non-farmed food species. |
