Hi Donna,, responding to your post here on fiddleheads.. Actually i cooked up some here just the other day, stired fried them with other vegetables.. sure was good.. I can also pick them here in the wild, i know where to find them.. This year i was to late to do the picking , they grow fast..Ferns.. I ended up buying some at the store here.. . Lots of iron nutrients in fiddleheads.. They can be cooked many ways.. I tried the stir frying for the first time and found it was just right .. Loved them..

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I don't want scare people away from Fiddleheads, but... There are 5 types of edible fiddleheads. Of those 5 types, 4 are supposedly cancer causing (bladder). The 1 type that is not, I believe are called osterich fiddleheads. My assumption is that store bought fiddleheads are osterich (assuming usually isn't a good thing, but I did buy some the other day). I'd definitely be reticent to pick them on my own because I wouldn't know which is which. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
