Huutat (Lemonade Berry) flowers by Wayne S. Grazio
Via Flickr:
The lemonade berry is a small shrubby tree. The plant is native to the coastal range of southern California and Baja California. This tree can grow up to 25 feet in height and is a common member of the chaparral plant community. The Kumeyaay Indians used tangy huutat berries to flavor their tea. The berries are soaked in water to provide flavor and they’re also eaten fresh. The seeds from these berries are ground up and combined with this tangy drink. A wad of lemonade berries can also be placed in the mouth as a means to keep thirst at bay during long hikes under the sun. The bark of this tree is used in a tea after childbirth.
