Everett, MA – Those tightly-coiled edible shoots from the ostrich ferns that grow along the rivers and streams in New England and beyond, called fiddlehead ferns, are now in season and available at Ruma Fruit and Produce.
The harvesting season for fiddleheads is short – typically beginning at the end of April and lasting through mid-June. Fiddleheads can be enjoyed in a variety of ways, including in pastas, pestos, salads, or as a side dish simply sautéed with garlic and herbs. Many fine restaurants include them on their spring menu, and as word has spread about this delicious wild vegetable, consumers are seeking them out at their neighborhood grocery store. Fiddleheads can also be frozen and enjoyed for later use.
We will have a limited supply beginning on April 28th and an increasing supply as the season progresses. Standard bulk shipping is 10# box, and we also offer 5#, 3# and 1# bags. In addition we offer retail clamshells in 4 oz and 8 oz. pack size. This year we have also added a consumer friendly resealable pouch in the 8 oz pack size.
With roots beginning in 1900 when Giacomo Ruma began selling fruits and vegetables at Haymarket Square in Boston, Ruma Fruit and Produce is now the largest distributor of fiddleheads on the East Coast. Learn more at http://www.rumasfiddleheads.com or contact us at 800-252-8282.
