Wild Foods Recipes | West Coast Wild Foods

Fiddleheads are one wild ingredient that a lot of people see in the grocery stores and at farmer’s markets in the spring, but aren’t quite sure what to do with them. Well we are here to tell you that you could find an easier wild green to add into your diet. With just a splash of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper you have one dish that is sure to please everyone.

West Coast Wild Foods’ fresh fiddleheads are from the ostrich fern that grows right across North America. It has a slight asparagus taste that lends well to being a side dish for most meals. Our fiddleheads, like all of our products are sustainably harvested.
