I have Ostrich fern on the front of my house that I have been waiting years to try. I keep missing the window when they are ready so I was overjoyed when I saw my fiddlehead popping up. I chopped 9, steamed with in a pan with a little butter for 5 minutes. I plated them with just a sprinkle of flaky salt and had them for lunch today.
They were great and tasted a little like asparagus but with a more savory, earthly flavor. They were amazing and totally worth the wait. I might check tomorrow to see if I can sustainability grab a few more to have them again.
10/10 would forage again.
That’s awesome! I love it when I have a place in mind for some plants
I’m in the packing my yard with so many things that I can use from edimentals like my ostrich ferns, cut flowers, pollinators, medicinals, herbs and vegetables. You can really pack them in
