Hawthorn leaves, especially the smaller and younger leaves are great eating along with the berries too. If you take a few Rose hips (de-seeded) and a few de-seeded Hawthorn berries and wrap them up in a Hawthorn leaf or two, a bit like a berry wrap, they taste lovely. The leaves taste like ripe apples, and are good for your heart too, although the berries and especially elderberries are the best for a healthy heart due to the amount of flavournoids they contain. A nice free snack is Cob nuts, blackberries, and Rose hips...hmmm. I love Rose hips right off the bush, even the one’s that are not fully ripe and are still firm taste great to me.

I've been eating some off the bushes here... some are very hard, but there are several species around here, the big ones are soft and juicy and ripe, yes I've noticed the hairy seeds but they are a nice refreshment on the trails! Lots of vitamin C flavour. Right on man!
