#Salal #flowers will become #food #berries soon 🥰
#SalalBerries are a major #FoodSource for #BritishColumbia #FirstNations - can be dried & made into cakes. Fruit leathers can be made by blending berries & spreading flat in a pan & drying in sun or oven. Berries can also be used to create a dark blue or purple dye. Branches & leaves of salal are used to line cooking pits & provide flavour. Leaves are used to cover cuts and wounds.
