When it comes to health benefits, the Cornelian cherry does not disappoint. Packed with vitamin C, it helps boost the immune system and supports overall well-being. Its antioxidant properties are believed to have anti-inflammatory effects and may contribute to heart health. Furthermore, this fruit contains a good amount of dietary fiber, which aids in digestion and promotes a healthy gut.

hello i would like to tell youse about one of my favorite late summer/early autumn foraged goodies – kousa dogwood fruits!

kousa dogwood trees are native to asia, but are planted in the US in a lot of parks and along sidewalks. the fruit starts to ripen in late summer and is usually available into early fall. you’ll know they’re ready when they turn bright red – but the choicest ones are almost purple.

the texture of a perfectly ripe kousa dogwood fruit is soft and custardy – similar to pawpaws! the taste is a surprising combination of persimmon and pumpkin. the skin is bitter and grainy, but luckily it’s very easy to squeeze out the ripe inner fruit! this is the easiest way to eat them – just suck the pulp out through the hole at the top (pretend you are a hungry giant slurping brains for maximum fun).

they have a very short shelf life, so if you’re not eating them right away it’s best to preserve them for later use. the pulp freezes beautifully, but can also be canned or dehydrated. my favorite way to save them is to freeze portions in ice cube trays – great for adding to smoothies and such!

* This and cornelian cherry (cornus mas) are non-native, edible dogwoods. Native US dogwood trees produce smaller fruits that are either inedible or mildly poisonous.

They look like cherries,

and they don’t look like cherries 🍒 👀

‘If it's red, and pretty, and birds are eating it, it's probably poisonous for humans, so don't eat it,

…but if it's brown, and looks like poop 💩, and insects are eating it, then it's possibly safe for human consumption’, …

is what I’ve heard. How factual this is, I do not know. So, I used an app 🤳🏼

These are cornelian cherries, also known as cornels, and they are edible.

They ripen towards the end of summer and taste … 👅 TART!!! I bit into a few.

Looked up recipes, and apparently they can be used in place of lemon juice 🍋 , after being cooked.

Edible yes, but eating fruit off trees, next to busy streets, and exhaust fumes 🚗 💨 🤔 is probably not a good idea.

Still, this fruit-laden tree 🌳 is one of the most gorgeous sights I’ve seen 👀 😍🥰❤️

[tattooed-alchemist]

I was walking home past two women talking about one woman’s tree on her sidewalk and I took the opportunity to ask what it was, as I’ve seen them in the area but have never been able to determine what they are.

They said it was a Korean dogwood, which I have learned is also called a Japanese cornelian cherry or strawberry dogwood, or kousa dogwood, as the Latin name is Cornus kousa.

And get this: the fruit IS edible.
