Fiddleheads
A collection of the furled fronds of young ferns; a unique addition to a meal.
Notes
Fiddleheads are a raw food ingredient harvested from Ferns in the wild. As a crop, they can also be deliberately planted and grown, making them a renewable food source that also serves as Herbivore Feed for animals. While their raw nutrient values are modest—packing 150 calories with a strong vitamin profile of 5—their real value lies in cooking, as they are used in a wide range of advanced dishes like Autumn Stew and Fantastic Forest Pizza. A practical tip: since raw Fiddleheads spoil in 96 hours, cook them quickly into those higher-tier recipes to both extend their shelf life and improve your diet's balance for faster skill-point gain.
