Fresh green shoots are edible and make a great poke salat. Berries can not be consumed, but were fermented and drank in a tea to alleviate serious stomach issues. Berries in large quantities can be used to dye materials. It is genuinely a great plant. I eat a lot of poke salat during poke season!!

Those berries will stain anything their juice touches too.
