Okonoki, also known as serviceberry or saskatoon, are a culturally significant food for the Blackfeet.

The dark purple fruit contains about ten seeds and is plump and juicy. Serviceberries are eaten fresh, eaten dried, mashed in cakes, or made into pemmican, a mixture of animal fat, dried meat, and crushed berries.

Serviceberries contain more than three times the amount of iron and copper as the same weight of raisins. The leaves can be dried for tea, and the wood of a serviceberry shrub is quite hard and can be used to make various tools.

Have you eaten okonoki?
