  1. Straußenfarn, nicht nur eine Zierpflanze, die Spitzen lassen sich auch gut in Salaten oder wie Spinat verarbeiten.

  10. #Fiddleheads: Where They Grow and How They Taste

    by Catherine Boeckmann, March 18, 2026

    "Fiddleheads are a sign of spring! Also called fiddlehead greens, they are the young shoots of the ostrich fern and an early springtime delicacy. If you’ve never heard of fiddleheads before, discover where fiddleheads grow, what they taste like, a couple of fiddlehead recipes, and magical #fern folklore!

    What Are Fiddleheads?

    In April, young ferns sprout from wet soil, appearing bright green against the decaying leaves. These are fiddleheads, so-called because the very tops—furled tight when young—look like the tuning end of a fiddle. Similar in looks (and taste) to asparagus, fiddleheads are usually only available for a few weeks in the spring before the fern leaves unravel.

    [...]

    Each ostrich fern plant will produce several tops that turn into fronds. They are best harvested as soon as they are a couple inches off the ground while the fiddlehead is still tightly curled.

    Fiddleheads should only be harvested from healthy crowns that can sustain picking. It’s best to take only half the tops from each plant (at most) so that the ferns can continue growing. As with wild ramps, it’s important not to #overharvest and deplete our natural resources!

    [...]

    CAUTION: If you harvest fiddleheads in the wild, ensure you can identify the ostrich fern from other ferns. Not all ferns are edible; in fact, bracken ferns are carcinogenic and should not be consumed. See fiddlehead safety tips [linked below]."

  15. It's that time of year when I feel obligated to buy some fiddlehead ferns and then try and figure out how to make them not taste like lawn clippings.
