Range & Habitat
Delicate, Mild, Green
The Fiddleheads of North America are the unfurled frons of the Ostrich and Lady Fern. They can be harvested for a few short weeks in the early spring. They possess a beautiful, light, "Green" flavor that is most closely resembled by an Asparagus/Artichoke melding. They can also have similar attributes of very light Green Beans. Working with Fiddleheads is a joy in itself. Poach, Saute, Grill, Broil, Pickle
Sweet, Peppery
Light Sweetness and a delicate pepper flavor, the Yellowfoot is a great alternative to the more expensive Golden Chanterelle. The Yellowfoot is probably best Sauted, but can be used in any other mushroom application. Great flavor for Seafood, Sauces, Cheese dishes, and especially Eggs. Saute, Roast, Stew, Puree.
Woodsy, Earthy, Velvety
The Bluefoot is a cultivated version of the Wild Wood Blewit. Blue Bluefoot concentrates a lilac color mostly in the stem. The Bluefoot has a great natural flavor and a very light texture that can be described as Velvety. Roast, Grill, Braise, Stew.
