Fresh fiddleheads should be stored with care to keep them fresh and intact. Loosely wrap unwashed fiddleheads in a paper towel and store in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. While fiddleheads can stay in the refrigerator for up to 10 days, it's best to eat them within a few days for maximum freshness and quality.
