About Tree fern, cooked, without salt

Tree ferns are ancient, palm-like ferns with tall, trunk-like stems crowned by a spreading rosette of large fronds, found in humid tropical and temperate forests around the world. Beyond their striking ornamental beauty, several kinds have a genuine, if specialized, food history: the starchy pith at the core of the trunk has been roasted and eaten as a survival and staple food by Maori in New Zealand (who call one species mamaku) and by peoples of the Pacific and Southeast Asia, while the tightly coiled young fronds, or fiddleheads, of certain species are cooked as a green vegetable.

The edible pith supplies starchy carbohydrate, and the young fronds add fiber and minerals. Only particular species and parts are eaten, and correct identification and thorough cooking are essential. Treat tree fern as a foraged traditional food rather than a market crop, always cook the pith or fiddleheads well, and harvest only from species and places where it is legal and sustainable.
