Blanched and.mixed with tomato or salted egg.
Fiddlehead fern or pakô.
This fern is edible.
These greens are.known to be a good source of vitamins and minerals, fatty acids.too.
They.don't grow here in my area, so eating them.is not.that much unless someone.from my other hometown.
And widly grown near the mountains.
Have you had this.edible fern?

@toniganzon I didn't like it either since youth, except bok choy but since my uric acid problem I've decided to go green and have no regrets ever since.

I have checked the nutrient on this veggie, still moringa gets the upperhand 
and we don't have fern. Today I just cooked a soup with mustard green, bock choy, okra, belle pepper and carrots. but most of the time, moringa. It's vitamin A equals the cabbage type veggie.

@cacay1 most of the time I will just add sardines for the taste. but I share them my veggie soup. it's sad i didn't do this with my eldest dog before. right now, I'm doing it with the puppies, hope they grow healthier.

@Lucky15 Yes greens are healthy. I like to put my greens in smoothies so I taste it less.
