Default Arbutus Tree Berry Nutrients

Hi,

This is my first post here. I hope to be a regular around here.

I live on the West Coast of Vancouver Island and we have tons or Arbutus trees (AKA: Mandrone or Mandrona or Arbutus Menziesii). I have read that the berries are edible, but uninteresting (pulpy, flavourless). My question is, even though they are uninteresting, does anyone know what (if any) nutrients the berries would provide in an emergency situation.

Would they be worth eating in a survival situation?

Thanks.
