Thanks for the info! I've had these dried and they taste great: sweet and sour.

Another thing I remember about these berries is that they are in the Solanaceae (nightshade) family.

Your timing is great. I just tasted these for the first time, in a salad. A friend said they had health benefits, but didn't know where to buy them. Thanks again.
