5. Bilberries
Answer: Eatable
Bilberries are the wild cousins of blueberries! They are smaller, darker and grow in woods. People love to pick them for muffins and pancakes! Bilberries have been known for centuries for their eye health benefit.
6. Holly berries
Answer: Poisonous
Holly plants look festive, especially around Christmas, but don't eat those red berries! They contain a substance called theobromine, which is also found in chocolate. While small amounts of chocolate are safe for humans, holly berries have much higher levels of theobromine, which makes them poisonous. Eating just a few berries can cause an upset stomach, vomiting, and make you feel sleepy. And remember - both holly berries and chocolate can be very dangerous to pets such as dogs!
7. Mistletoe
Answer: Poisonous
Mistletoe may be fun to hang up at Christmas, but its berries, stems and leaves are all poisonous. They contain phoratoxin and viscotoxin, which can cause severe abdominal pain and even slow down your heart. These berries are definitely not for eating - just give someone a kiss under the mistletoe instead!
8. Yew berries
Answer: Poisonous
Yew berries may look bright and pretty, but they are very poisonous! These berries contain a poison called taxine, which can make you very sick or even kill you if you eat them. It's important to stay away from yew trees and never eat anything from them!
9. Daphne berries
Answer: Poisonous
Daphne shrubs have small, bright red berries that look tempting but are highly poisonous. Just a few berries can make you very sick. The plant's leaves and berries contain toxins that can cause nausea, vomiting and more serious problems, so stay away from these berries!
10. Bittersweet berries
Answer: Poisonous
Bittersweet is a tricky plant. Its berries look bright and colourful, but they are full of a poison called solanine. Eating them can make you very sick, especially if you are a child. Although it's not as dangerous as the deadly nightshade, you should avoid these berries at all costs!
