They are the coiled, young fronds of the ostrich fern, foraged from wild, damp areas in Eastern and Central Canada. Their harvest season is very short, lasting only a few weeks in the spring, making them a sought-after ingredient. For safety, they must always be thoroughly cleaned and cooked before consumption. #Canada #Foraging #Food #Agriculture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiddlehead_fern
