Young fern has furled fronds that are called fiddleheads. It comes in the category of vegetables. Indonesian people cook fiddleheads in rich coconut sauce, which is made spices like chili pepper, galangal, lemongrass, turmeric etc. I know that maintaining health by using various supplements is into fashion but believe me without spending single penny you may have rich vitamins and minerals such as omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids by eating fiddleheads. In their form you may have antioxidants and dietary fiber also.
Those people who need less amount of sodium and sufficient amount of potassium must eat it. If we talk about the fiddleheads, all ferns have them. A category called “ostrich fern” is different from all. Ostrich ferns are of an inch in diameter and have brown papery scale-like covering with even fern stem. Before cooking, remove its brown papery husk with using fingers. Wash them in cold water repetitively until all residuals get rinsed.
