Re: FiddleHeads

Carol, Judy & Irene ,

Thank you for your response!

I must assume and please forgive my ignorance, but  all ferns are edible? I
would imagine a fiddlehead is the tender frond of the fern?

In the redwood groves here in California we have thousands of acres of
ferns beneath the redwood trees, literally a sea of ferns!

I guess I can eat all of these different types of ferns?

Thanks You!
Chris
