refers to the unfurled fronds of a young fern harvested for food
consumption. The fiddlehead, or circinate vernation, unrolls as the fern
emerges from the ground with new growth. As fiddleheads are harvested
early in the season before the frond has opened and reached its full
height, they are cut fairly close to the ground.Fiddleheads at Milford,
New Hampshire, 2004The fiddlehead resembles the curled ornamentation on
the end of a stringed instrument, such as a fiddle. It is also called a
crozier, after the curved staff used by bishops, which has its origins
in the shepherd's crook.Though available regionally in some supermarkets
and restaurants, fiddleheads aren't cultivated and are available only
seasonally. In rural areas, fiddleheads are harvested by individuals in
early spring. When picking fiddleheads, three tops per plant is the
recommended harvest. Each plant produces seven tops that turn into
fronds; over-picking will kill the plant. Maintaining sustainable
harvesting methods is important in the propagation of any non-farmed
food species. |
