Nope definitely don’t eat. These berries are good for terrorizing all the gardeners and farmers battling pokeweed everywhere, and for making dye the old fashioned way!

Every part of that plant could kill you…or make you wish you were dead.

You can make ink with the berries.

Best not eaten raw, at least in large amounts. The seeds in the berries are far more poisonous than the berries themselves.
