Saw palmetto is a small, palm-like plant native to the southeastern United States. It is known for its small, dark berries, which have been used for centuries by Native Americans for food and medicinal purposes. The berries are rich in nutrients and phytochemicals, including fatty acids, flavonoids, and plant sterols. They are often dried and ground into a powder or extracted to make supplements and other products. 

Saw palmetto berries are said to have a soapy taste and acrid smell.
