WHAT DOES FIDDLEHEAD MEAN IN ENGLISH?

fiddlehead

Fiddlehead fern

Fiddleheads or Fiddlehead greens are the furled fronds of a young fern, harvested for use as a vegetable. Left on the plant, each fiddlehead would unroll into a new frond. As fiddleheads are harvested early in the season before the frond has opened and reached its full height, they are cut fairly close to the ground. Fiddleheads have antioxidant activity, are a source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and are high in iron and fibre. Certain varieties of fiddleheads have been shown to be carcinogenic. The fiddlehead resembles the curled ornamentation on the end of a stringed instrument, such as a violin. It is also called a crozier, after the curved staff used by bishops, which has its origins in the shepherd's crook.

Definition of fiddlehead in the English dictionary

The definition of fiddlehead in the dictionary is an ornamental carving, in the shape of the scroll at the head end of a fiddle, fitted to the top of the stem or cutwater. Other definition of fiddlehead is the edible coiled tip of a young fern frond.
