    Thai Fiddle-head Fern Salad (ยำฟิดเดิลเฮดเฟิร์นกุ้ง)

    Fiddle-Head Salad

    Fiddle-Head Ferns Salad

    It's April and in the Northern Hemisphere that means you can get fiddle-head ferns.  Fiddle-heads or fiddle-head greens are the furled fronds of a young fern, used as vegetables.

    Fiddle-head ferns are almost all nutrients and antioxidants and very few calories.  100 grams only has 34 calories but is packed with fiber and vitamins and actually have over 4 grams of protein.

    The deep green and purple color tell you they are packed with the antioxidants and nutrients you want in a salad.   They are also a good green for foraging, either for fun or should the occasion arise when we have to know how to live off the land.

    My wife was excited to see her sister in Chiang Mai, Thailand with a heaping plate full of them on Facebook last week and told me that they are excellent and that their family ate them both in the furled state and unfurled often in oyster sauce.  You can get them in Thailand pretty much any time during the year but in other countries you will get them during the wet spring season.

    Notes
    ****The majority of the time that I spent on this recipe was washing the fiddle-head ferns. They have tiny hair in the center, and they quite fragile. This is how to wash the ferns; turn on the Faucet with the low water pressure and gently rub the fern.****[br][br]****Serve the Fiddle-Head Ferns Salad as a side or serve it over iceberg lettuce as a salad.****
