I have a book on wild edible plants and it says that fiddleheads are good but they must be eaten before they stand upright or they are poisonous. That seemed weird to me but that's what it says. Also, like someone else mentioned you need to rinse them to get the acidic stuff off. Also, you should not eat fiddleheads from any type of bracken fern. They have stuff in them that is known to cause stomach cancer. Some trivia for the day.
