They almost certainly won't ripen once picked. I have no idea
what green ones are like, but a quick Web search indicates that
they can be used for flavouring, just like ripe ones, but are less
interesting.


Your online resources are better than mine. This is just the information
I need.

You have nothing to lose by trying them!


I have to try with a little more berries the next time, anyway, and just
add the greens to the black ones that I bye.., also more salt.

“The Book” by John Seymour (“The New Complete Book of Self-Sufficiency”
for the others) does say a few words about berries in general but omits
these important details. It's a mystery...

TY.
