Saskatoon berry

(Pacific serviceberry, Western serviceberry, Western shadbush, Western juneberry)

The Saskatoon berry (lat. Amelanchier alnifolia) is a type of small, sweet berry native to North America, specifically found in the Canadian prairies, the Northwestern United States, and Alaska.


The berries are purplish-blue in color and resemble blueberries in size and appearance. However, their taste is somewhat unique, described as sweet and nutty with a hint of almond flavor due to the small amount of cyanogenic glycosides they contain.


The Saskatoon berry is highly nutritious and is a rich source of fiber, proteins, antioxidants, and other beneficial compounds. The berries are commonly used in pies, jams, wines, cider, beers, and sweet desserts. Indigenous peoples of North America have long used Saskatoon berries as a key part of their diet and for medicinal purposes.
