    For the love of GOD don’t eat random berries…

    Not saying they’re edible but they taste pretty darn good. Like milder tasting blueberries, I guess. Haven’t had them in a while.

    Very edible, and choice for about a week. Consume with gusto. My most-favorite wild fruit. They do not keep flavor well after picking, so pie immediately or fresh

    That’s a serviceberry, and they are edible.

    Somewhere in Canada, perhaps at Waterton Park, we had Saskatoon pie for dessert. Found out then that Saskatoon berry is another name for serviceberry, hence Saskatoon pie.

    All serviceberries are safe to eat. Some are tasty.

    Amelanchier. Berry is edible, but I’d strongly advise both you and your daughter to learn this lesson: Don’t eat fruit from a plant that you don’t know. Some berries are highly toxic and will kill you.

    How has the human race made it this far… You got lucky this time.

    Looks like a serviceberry. They are in season right now.

    Wtf is wrong with people? I have a prediction about your death, and it involves eating random crap off the side of the road.

    These are great. We have a bunch of these bushes.

    Are you trying to die? This is how you end your bloodline. Don’t ever eat berries you don’t know again

    No wonder your name is “belly sounds”

    Really shouldn’t let kids eat random berries. Nightshade makes berries too. You’ll only make that mistake once.

    Little she grug eat berry, grug eat berry, too. Little she grug and grug didn’t shit themselves to death. Good day for grug.

    Serviceberry – Amalanchier spp.

    Also known as Juneberry, Saskatoon and Shadbush. The berries on all Amalanchier species are ed!ble and apparently nutritionally superior to blueberries. Also I think they t@ste better imo. You got VERY lucky it wasn’t something toxic! And the fact these berries haven’t been e@ten by the birds yet.

    I love these berries. Leave some for the birds:-)

    Genus Amelanchier, AKA serviceberry, juneberry, shadberry, Saskatoonberry, and so on. One of my favorites. It’s also very popular in Russia. It was used by Native Americans to make pemmican, one of the first energy bars.

    They’re great fresh, kind of like a slightly grittier blueberry, and the tiny seeds almost taste like almond. You can also cook with them, make preserves, or freeze them for future use.

    It’s a common decorative plant, so make sure you CLEAN the berries before you eat them if you picked from a tree near an apartment or office building.

    And yes, as everyone has already shared, NEVER eat a plant if you’re not ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN it’s edible! Straying from this rule can easily lead to agony and/or death.

    I think its a rage-bait berry…

    For the record, that was a terrible idea. If it had been poisonous, they could have taken both of you out instead of you staying sensible enough to get her to a hospital. Don’t stick unfamiliar berries in your mouth.

  21. anandonaqui

    It looks to be specifically roundleaf serviceberry

  22. mountains_till_i_die

    IDK send me a bucket and I’ll let you know if they’re edible.

  23. egonzales04

    Bro… 😭 daughter ate a mystery berry and your FIRST thought was lemme try one too?? Apple doesn’t fall to far does it.

  24. ifunnygf

    that was a really poor thought out series of events

    Jesus Christ. I’m sorry but you’re an idiot. Please learn from this.
