我出生在缅因州，我最美好的记忆之一就是我收集的 蕨菜 每年春天。
虽然我已经搬走了，但我的家人每年都会把它们装箱，用优先邮件寄到北卡罗来纳州给我。
每当盒子到货的时候，总是一个特别的日子！您知道这些可食用的蕨类植物是多年生植物，您可以在自己的花园里种植吗？
蕨类植物让我想起了我的青春岁月
虽然蕨菜在我国某些地区（尤其是北方地区）的超市里有售，但它们并不是一种常见的栽培植物，也不容易买到。
萁状蕨类植物是幼年蕨类植物尚未开放时的卷曲叶片。
在清洗之前，它们看起来是这样的。
在缅因州等农村地区，人们每年春天都会采摘蕨菜，通常会选择一株蕨菜上一半左右的叶片。
虽然植株会长出 7 个或更多叶片，但过度采摘叶片会导致植株死亡。

我现在住在北卡罗来纳州，但我的父母知道我有多喜欢这些讨人喜欢的绿叶，所以他们每年春天都会给我寄一盒。
我今天收到了这样一盒，过去几个小时里，我一直在准备把它们冷冻起来。
这是流程.... 
蕨类植物装在两个大袋子里，用优先邮政信箱寄来。 我在水槽里放了水，直接把它们倒进水里。
我有一个双盆水槽，所以我把两个盆子都装满水，在两个盆子之间来回移动，每次都把水放掉，然后重新装满水。
大约冲洗了 6 次才相对干净。 
当水槽的下水道从上面的照片变成下面的照片时，你就会知道了。

不要跳过这个过程，尽管它很繁琐。 
接着，我把一大锅水放在炉子上烧开，然后在水槽里放满干净的水，再加入大量冰块。 
我把叶片的末端剪掉，然后等水烧开。 我是分批进行的。
水一烧开，我就倒了满满一盘子水，大概有这么大。 
我把计时器设定为两分钟，这样蕨菜就会焯一下，而不会煮沸。
两分钟时间一到，我就把它们从沸水锅中捞出，倒入冰浴中，以防止它们煮熟。 
焯过水的叶片颜色比煮沸前的浅。 
我一直这样做......清洗、焯水、冷却，直到它们全部完成。 这是我今年春天的一批产品。
我会好好配给它们的，我讨厌用完最后一袋的感觉！ 
萁头的味道很难描述，我觉得它类似秋葵，但也有人说它有一种芦笋的坚果味。
蕨菜的味道适合搭配奶酪、番茄酱和东方菜肴。 搭配荷兰酱是极好的。
蕨菜是维生素 A 和 C 的良好来源。
它们不宜生吃，因为在煮熟前有轻微的苦味，如果大量生吃可能会引起胃部不适。
如果您住在南方地区，并想尝试自己种植，鸵鸟蕨是一个不错的选择。
