I didn't realize that. I googled that issue and found several sources saying fiddleheads can cause GI distress if not boiled for 15 minutes, which of course is too long to cook the tender greens. Come to think of it, this last batch does not seem to have agreed with me entirely. I'm going to go amend my post! Thanks, Cheryl, for pointing that out. I didn’t realize that.

But at some point I read that if you don't cook them sufficiently they have toxins that can make you sick. This isn't unusual for meat, of course, but for a plant food I thought it was pretty surprising. Do you know anything about this, or am I simply uber-paranoid?
