Oh, if that were only the case! I'd dry them or make wine. But they have no taste, no sugar, and not enough acid to count. They are bland. Crunchy and bland, yuck. My Kieffers taste great by comparison, and they aren't even ripe yet. I picked some a month ago, and every week since, and they are all tasteless.
