                                Greenbrier berries are a significant food source for many wildlife species during winter months when other options are scarce. But can you eat common greenbrier berries yourself? The berries of common greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia) are indeed edible for humans, though they are generally more palatable when fully ripe and are often consumed for their nutritional value rather than their taste.
