I have a question about the edibility of the fruit of Pampas
Lily-of-the-Valley (Salpichroa origanifolia).
For general illustrations and description see:

Understandably most of the entries produced by Googling have the
Exterminate! Exterminate! theme of the Daleks.
What I want to find out about is the the edibility of the berries.
W.T. Parsons and E.G. Cuthbertson in their Noxious Weeds of Austgralia
state that: ""The fruit is sometimes used in preserves and is sold in
the markets of Argentina and Paraguay for this purpose."
'Further Reading' for this entry is on page 609, which is not included
in the Google scan of this book.
I can find nothing about edibility in Cornucopia or Sturtevant.
Does anybody know anything more about the edibility of the fruit?
