God I love me some Fiddleheads!! Boiled until nice and tender and served with butter and a little vinegar. Yummy! I just bought a huge $15.00 dollar bag of them from the grocery store which is insane since they grow everywhere up here on the east coast of Lake Huron in Canada but I always miss their early harvest. I don't start thinking about them until it's too late but I'll pay the money because I just gotta have some every spring. I'll probably get another bag before they're all gone, lol.
As a Native American. back in the day, you would never see a white man picking fiddleheads. but until they found out they were worth money, they took that shit right up.
@hmattyj DO NOT EAT THE "WHITE FUZZY OR WHITE HAIRY" ONES MAN!!! I have picked fiddleheads for twenty some years. I have been told that the fuzzy / hairy ones are poisonous (this may not be true, but usually anything that looks like that in nature does not look safe to me anyway). The hairy ones you speak of are identical looking EXCEPT for the hairy / fuzzy stuff, and are often found close to the REAL ones.
I just picked a shopping bag full and after reading about the toxic ones I was worried. Thank you so much for posting this video. It has set my mind at ease.
I picked some fiddleheads near a book behind my house. After researching how to prepare them, I don't think I picked the right things. The fiddleheads I picked were covered with a soft hairy cover, not paper like. Are any fiddleheads ok to eat? I'm scared. I don't want to get sick. Thank you

Yes, the deep U groove is the most recognized trait of the fiddlehead.
