Can you eat asparagus berries?

Answer by  Gus15 (12)

You take a risk in eating asparagus berries or raw asparagus because some are toxic and may cause gastrointestinal problems.

They are toxic as well as the shoots. The berries can cause skin and intestinal problems for a short period of time.

You can, but you shouldn't. Only the spears are truly edible. When you eat asparagus berries, extreme digestive problems, itching, red skin, blisters, and other generally un-fun things ensue. Stick to the traditional edible asparagus.
