Mountain Ash Berries as Food. 



Till!: berries of the AJountain Ash (Pyriis Aucu- 

 paria) are consumed witli avidity l)y birds and 

 poultry, l)ut they are not oiten eaten by huiiiaii 

 i)eings owing to their bitter taste and ])eculiar 

 llavoiir, wliicli lias been compared to tlie smell 

 conveyed by green or recently cut \v<K)d. In 

 Wales and tlie Scottish Highlands they seem to be 

 liked, and have even been exposed for sale in the 

 streets of Glasgow. 



This well-known fruit' is (lopularly su]»posed to 

 be poisonous. It contains a large ciuantity of 

 malic acid, and some prussic acid. 1)ut the latter 

 is in small j)roportion and is proltalily not suHi- 

 cient to render the berries deleterious unless to 

 children.
