Fiddleheads are young, edible, fern shoots that are gathered when they are still curled. These greens are nutritious – high in vitamin A, vitamin C & iron; a good source of potassium; low in calories, fat & cholesterol.
Described often as a cross between asparagus and broccoli, its flavor is unique.

Clang Clang Clang! (Ringing Triangle) Fiddleheads are here! Fiddleheads are here!
Fresh fiddlehead ferns have arrived!
Where does Ruma's get the fiddleheads?: For over ten years, we have partnered with growers so we can get fresh fiddlehead ferns directly from the growers.
How much do the fiddlehead ferns cost?: See our website for pricing and click here to order!
How do I prep the fiddleheads?: To cook fiddleheads, remove the yellow/brown skin, then boil the sprouts twice with a change of water between boilings. Removing the water reduces the bitterness and the content of tannins and toxins
Do you have any recipes for fresh fiddlehead ferns? Take a look below at the recipes we have posted! We also have other recipes on our website!
How long does the season last?: Generally, the season is just a few short weeks in the spring. Mother Nature is in charge so we never know when the crop will end. We guess that the 2013 fiddlehead season will end in the beginning of June.
