#RedHuckleberries have long been eaten by many #BritishColumbia coastal #FirstNations peoples. Sometimes wooden combs are used to rake the berries off the branches. The berries can be eaten fresh, or mashed, dried, and then made into cakes for winter use. Gargle infusion of leaves and bark are effective to soothe a sore throat. Red huckleberries are a good source of #VitaminC and are considered an anti-aging #food and can be made into a dietary #supplement .
