Hey I wanted to know about this berry as it grows in the vast majority in our areas. Also, is it edible? (locals say it's inedible – Snake's fruit) If edible what are the health benefits?

edible but no taste
cool
They’re edible, people will say they’re tasteless and not worth your time, but I disagree. They’re definitely not as sweet and rich as regular strawberries from the grocery store, much more subtle but still tasty and enjoyable.
You can eat them. They aren’t poisonous or anything, but they don’t have much of a taste.
These were called snake berries when I was a child, and I was in my 30s before it occurred to me that snakes aren’t known for eating berries lol.
“tastless” i spend a bit of time everyday during the late spring snd summer looking for the fruits and I can attest they taste like something. not much, but man is it awesome to get to gather them up out of the yard and have a fun slightly tasty snack. If you collect a bunch they are great in salads or yogurt
These used to be called Duchesnia indica and before that Fragaria indica . Bland tasting with virtually no flavour .
