It is a sprout of the pteridophyte and growing up in the forest where is spot of sunshine place at the spring season.
As for the one made for food, this Warabi(blacken) is the most famous though there is various kinds of pteridophytes.
My husband loves healthy foods so he thinks that wants to eat Warabi(blacken) the every spring season.
That ''Warabi'' were found by my husband when he took children out for a walk in the forest.
They enjoyed Warabi gathering, they feel it like treasure hunt and now they go out there to do it every week. and children are calling that place "Hometown of the Warabi".
My daughter said ''this is smell of the forest'' when she opened the plastic bag that the fresh Warabi in there.
I don't like Warabi very much but eating the fresh season's food is good for us I though it when she said that.
By the way, it cannot eat the Warabi by uncooked.
This is strongly bitter taste,so need boil it put in the baking soda to remove the bitter taste.↓↓↓
Let's introduce the cooking items that my favorite recently.
That is ''Otoshi buta''(drop-lid).↑↑↑ white one.
It is a soft lid made of silicon rubber.
People use ''Otoshshi buta'' when cooking Japanese foods because to keep the shape of foods and to get easy simmering.
Why is that piggy face?? because lid is called ''Futa'' in Japanese and pig is ''Buta'' in Japanese yes, mixed sounds ''Futa'' and ''Buta''. 
It is heatproof,so it is OK puts on the fire with it put in the pan and is safe.
When the cap of the bottle is opened, use it because it is overall soft.
That was yummy.↑↑↑ boiled with soy sauce and sugar.
well, it was a season of strawberry too in early May.
Strawberry have begun to appear in the store from January then finish the season in May.
So I decided that make the strawberry compote before finish season of delicious strawberry.
And the last, I sometimes bake bread.
The yeast plant is not leavened easily because the temperature of the room is low in winter. but I do not fail if the temperature goes up in spring.
This is raisin and cinnamon bread.
I was busy busy at the kitchen with spring season's foods
well done! you are good at housekeeping! :)
