Connection to the seasons — Bracken
"Warabiho" is, as the name suggests, deeply related to bracken, a spring wild vegetable. Bracken is a type of fern that grows wild in mountains, fields, and sunny slopes throughout Japan, and has been cherished since ancient times as a taste that heralds the arrival of spring.
The edible part is the young shoot that has just emerged from the ground. It has a distinctive shape with the tip curled like a fist, and its surface is covered with brown downy hairs, which is the origin of the name "warabiho" (bracken ear). These downy hairs seem to protect the young life that has just sprouted from the soil.
Because bracken has a strong bitter taste, it is usually blanched using baking soda or similar to remove the bitterness before cooking. You can enjoy its unique texture and slightly bitter spring aroma in a variety of dishes such as blanched greens, stews, and tempura.
