Fiddleheads

April

Feb 14

Springtime in Durham Region brings the unique and sought-after flavor of fiddlehead ferns. These tightly coiled, young fern fronds are harvested early in the season, offering a tender texture and a slightly grassy, earthy taste that pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes.

Often used in soups, salads, or sautéed as a side dish, they are a delicious way to bring seasonal freshness to your plate. The harvest typically occurs in late spring, making it a fleeting treat to enjoy before the season changes. Whether steamed, sautéed, or incorporated into a spring salad, they offer a delicate, wild flavor that enhances any dish.
