Look this fern...
Grow wildly on my eastern backyard.
So fresh...
I have forgotten about this edible fern.
Actually I was not sure about this variety.
But when I was googling, I found an information that this fern was edible.
So, I cut two stalk of young leaves and then cooked.
I think, it was too late to pick this fern.
The leaves have already opened.
I should picked it when the leaves were still curly.
But no problem.
Before I cook fern leaves into so many dishes, I cook the leaves on the boiled water first for about 5 minutes to get better taste and reduce the risk of allergy.
Then rinse on the flowing water, drain and ready to be cooked into so various dishes.
Some traditional Indonesian dishes are made from ferns.
We can find this vegetable is sold on the markets or groceries, especially during the rainy season.
Gift from my garden...
Once I was on holiday in Borneo and discovered something they called jungle ferns. I loved them and always had them when I could. Until I read this post I never thought of picking and cooking ferns from the garden. I'm a bit nervous - it's something new! The ones growing in my garden look like that one, but it may not be the same.
ReplyDeleteWow, so interesting! Yeah, so many ferns seems the same one and another.

DeleteI have never heard of ferns being edible before. I guess you have to be careful which one you pick as so many can look so similar and maybe would cause a problem if you picked the wrong one.
ReplyDeleteYes, you're right, Sue.
