Salal was an important food plant for the Native tribes in the Pacific Northwest. The berries are tasty, but bland and somewhat leathery. (I would actually welcome finding them on a hike.) They would be dried for winter use. Here is a salal in bloom in front of Lucia Falls in Clark County, Washington.
