Huckleberry is the fruit of several plants in genera Vaccinium and Gaylussacia. It is also the state fruit for Idaho in the United States.
Huckleberries are small and round, usually less than 5mm in diameter, and contain 10 large seeds (making them quite difficult to eat). Berries range in color according to species from bright red, dark purple to blue. In taste, the berries range from tart to sweet, with the flavor similar to that of the blueberry, especially in blue and purple varieties. The berries are enjoyed by many mammals, including grizzly bears and humans.
