Fiddlehead pickle

Fiddlehead fern pickle, also known as lungru pickle, is a flavorful and nutritious pickle made from the tightly curled, young shoots of the ostrich fern. The ferns are often collected from the damp forest floors of the Himalayan and north Indian hills in late spring and early summer, and are pickled to preserve them for year-round consumption.

Fiddleheads are a wild edible plant that have been around for millions of years and are packed with nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, omega acids, potassium, iron, and fiber. They have a unique flavor similar to artichoke and asparagus, and are low in cholesterol and sodium. Fiddlehead pickle has many health benefits, including supporting immune function, combating oxidative stress, and contributing to overall health.
