The Saskatoon berry is a small, sweet fruit native to North America, particularly found in the prairies and forests of Canada and the northern United States. It grows on shrubs that can reach up to 6 feet tall and produces clusters of purple to dark blue berries. These berries are rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, making them a nutritious addition to various dishes. Saskatoon berries are often used in jams, jellies, pies, and desserts, similar to how one might use blueberries. They have a unique flavor that combines sweetness with a hint of nuttiness. The berries typically ripen in late spring to early summer, making them a popular choice for foraging and local markets.
