Stumbled on this and thought it was worth a share. I had no idea you can eat gorse!

Karamū fruit is edible, I used to pick and eat the berries while waiting for the school bus as a kid.

I did not know that! I've seen birds eating it but I was always a bit chicken because of the colour.

The fruit to seed ratio is pretty rubbish, but they taste nice. Worth a go.

Will definitely try it. I love loquats and their fruit:seed ratio is also not great.
