Ferns are like dinosaurs. Only those are no longer on our planet, and this plant is still at the root. There are more than 10 thousand species: some give the basis for legends (blooming on the night of Ivan Kupala), some please with their appearance, and some with taste. And here our applause and admiration of gourmets such a species as the ordinary eagle. By the way, this species is growing in the western regions of Russia. It's inedible, though. But in Primorye you can take a soul with a gastronomic variety of dishes, where the basis is a fern. It is dried, salted, canned, used in salads, with it you can cook shiv, extinguish the meat, bake cakes ...
