Best Answer

No - most ferns contain toxic substances and contain very little nutrition because as simple plants they do not store much food in their tissues. An exception are the "fiddleheads" - first leaves that some ferns sprout in the spring and which some people eat. They which are bitter (contain some chemicals) but are still edible as they have not yet grown enough to produce more of the substances.
