The Fiddlehead Fern is a vegetable that can be found:
- foraging in the Secret Woods during Summer (78%).
- foraging in the Prehistoric floors of the Skull Cavern.
- foraging in the Ginger Island jungle in all seasons.
- occasionally at the Traveling Cart for
270–1,000g.
The Fiddlehead Fern is the only foraged item categorized as a vegetable. Being a vegetable, its sell price benefits from the Tiller 10% bonus and it can be turned into Pickles or Juice using a Preserves Jar or Keg. But it also receives several Foraging-related benefits, because it is obtained by foraging. Specifically, 7 Foraging XP is granted per fern and it benefits from the Gatherer double-harvest bonus and Botanist iridium-quality bonus.
