Their delicate, slightly tart flavor makes them a favorite for jams, jellies, and baked goods, while their high vitamin C and antioxidant content offers numerous health benefits. Traditionally, Indigenous communities have valued salmonberries for their medicinal properties and as a sustainable food source.
