Salal according to scientists is the healthiest berry in ALL of North America! A super food ( even has omega )

Can you eat the berries from the Oregon grape plant as well?

Noticed you said ... "salal *was* an important resource for the Native people(s) of the west coast" ... just wanted to point out the importance of language here. As you know Indigenous Peoples are still here, and have always been since time immemorial. Indigenous Peoples STILL use plant medicines. These practices do not only exist in the past and it is extremely important not to word it as such.

Hi Emily, thank you very much for pointing that out. The language that we use is highly important, and we will make sure to adjust and use present tense when chatting about those topics in future content that we create.
