Fiddlehead ferns refers to the unfurled fronds of a young fern harvested for food consumption. The fiddlehead, or circinate vernation, unrolls as the fern emerges from the ground with new growth. 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. The fiddlehead resembles the curled ornamentation (called a scroll) on the end of a stringed instrument, such as a fiddle.

It is also called a crozier, after the curved staff used by bishops, which has its origins in the shepherd's crook.
  • La tête de violon est une fougère comestible qui pousse en Amérique du Nord. Son nom lui vient du fait que lorsque les jeunes frondes commencent à pousser, elles ont la forme d'une crosse de violon, qui se déroule ensuite progressivement.
