Can you eat the fruit of the Barberry Shrub?

Answer by  Anonymous

If one looks around you can find many (reliable) sources for using barberry berries in cooking. It was a common ingredient in Medieval cookery and is available dried in some 'ethnic' stores. So they're not poison. Wrong alarm bell to ring.

That is very scary you should talk to a professional about that you certainly don't want to eat the wrong thing and end up very sick or worse. And do not trust what you get on here these are not professionals in this.
