The Saskatoon berry (lat. Amelanchier alnifolia) is a type of small, sweet berry native to North America, specifically found in the Canadian prairies, the Northwestern United States, and Alaska.
The berries are purplish-blue in color and resemble blueberries in size and appearance. However, their taste is somewhat unique, described as sweet and nutty with a hint of almond flavor due to the small amount of cyanogenic glycosides they contain.
