Are eugenia ventenati berries edible?

WE have recently bought the shrub and wondered if the berries were edible they are little sweet and are purpley red in colour

According to this site they are:

You might also ask your local county extension agency. If they didn’t know off hand they could certainly find out and they would definitely be a reliable source of information. Better safe than sorry!
