    I’ve heard of people eating ferns like that, but I only eat angiosperms myself. What do fiddleheads taste like?

      I haven’t got to try mine yet. So I am not sure. Apparently they taste a little like asparagus which I think is used as a comparison for a lot of things. I did have some milkweed stems last year that were similar to asparagus

        Fiddleheads actually have a unique flavor - kinda like a mix between asparagus and green beans with a hint of nuttiness, just make sure to cook them thoroghly since they’re not safe to eat raw.
