My mistake directing you to that mission Kevin, I believed it to be global at the time. Could you please remove it from that mission, and I encourage you to search for a local covering wild edibles.

Just make sure you get all of the prickles off, some of them are quite small.

The purple is the fruit and is not only edible but delicious, consider adding to this mission, http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8302...
