Surely you know what a pokeberry is!!! It's those little berries that stain anything....some people call them ink berries....You can eat the leaves in a salad...tasty too!! I add them with my scrambled eggs from time to time...YUMMY-LISH-US....
Native Americans used to use the pokeweed berries as a purplish dye Never tried eating the leaves before, but I know its roots are poisonous....good to know if I am in the middle of nowhere and need a snack!
