Keri will choose one great question a
week to be answered Thursday in our Healthy Hollywood column.
This week’s question — I’ve been
seeing fiddleheads everywhere on menus. What are they and should I be
trying them?
Keri says…
Thanks for your question! Fiddleheads
might seem like something for more adventurous types to try, but I
promise you’ll love them! So what exactly are they?? A fiddlehead is a
baby fern that is cut before it matures. Just 10 calories per ounce, or
40 calories per half cup, fiddleheads are a pretty good source of
protein, zinc, vitamin A and vitamin C. Choose ones that are tightly
curled, small, firm and bright green. Add them to salads, use as garnish
or sauté quickly with vegetables. They are so pretty, you’ll love
having them on your plate!
