Wild HuckleberryHere are some wild fruits to share, I just curious about these fruits that I saw somewhere that some fruit vendors are selling them and some I found in foods as dessert, some are used for garnishing in cocktail drinks. I never know that those wild fruits are can be eaten, since I see some of them in my hometown but no one knows about them. Then I searched each of them in the internet and the Wikipedia gave me the results to know these wild fruits and its characteristics.
Huckleberry is a name used in North America for several plants in two closely related genera in the family Ericaceae: Gaylussacia and Vaccinium. The Huckleberry is the state fruit of Idaho.
Some Vaccinium species, such as the Red Huckleberry, are always called huckleberries. Other species may be called blueberries or huckleberries in different locations.
There is much confusion in naming of berries in American English. The 'garden huckleberry' (Solanum melanocerasum) is not a true huckleberry but a member of the nightshade family.
The fruit of most species of huckleberry can be eaten. The berries are small and round. They are usually less than 5 mm in diameter and contain 10 seeds. Berries range in color from bright red, through dark purple, and into the blues. In taste the berries range from tart to sweet. They have a flavor similar to that of a blueberry. Huckleberries are well liked by many mammals such as bears and humans.
