Fresh Fiddlehead Ferns are small, tightly coiled frond tips with a round, spiraled top connected to a short stem. The young fern's surface is smooth, taut, and bright green, sometimes covered in a protective layer of tawny, brown scales. They contain a tender, crisp, and succulent texture with a snap-like finish when lightly cooked. The ferns also emit a delicate, grassy, and woodsy flavor with artichoke, mushroom, asparagus, and pine nut nuances.
