A+ Fern

Fiddlehead ferns are coming! The first (wild) vegetable of spring, these unfurled fronds which taste like a cross between asparagus and green beans are available for only a matter of weeks in better markets. Don't pass them up --they have twice the antioxidants of blueberries (the gold standard for antioxidants). But be sure to cook before serving them up as a side dish or in salads.
