Whole dried fiddleheads - 15g

• Accompaniment: They are eaten sautéed in butter, as an accompaniment to meat, fish or vegetarian dishes.

• Salads and pasta: Their crunchy texture and herby, slightly nutty flavor enhance warm salads, pasta and risottos.

Fiddleheads are part of the traditional spring harvest in many North American communities, valued for their freshness and nutrient content after winter.
