UMaine Extension cited in BDN article on fiddlehead dishes
The University of Maine Cooperative Extension was mentioned in a Bangor Daily News article about the wild edible ostrich fern green that is being worked into a variety of appetizers and main dishes in restaurants around the state. While nearly all ferns do have a “fiddlehead,” according to UMaine Extension, it’s those of the ostrich fern variety — scientifically known as Matteuccia struthiopteris — that are the most prized, the article states. UMaine Extension’s “Facts on Fiddleheads” also were included in a Morning Sentinel column.
