Editing Elaeagnus latifolia (section)

== Fruit and uses ==
The fruit is reported edible raw or cooked. It is acidic or somewhat astringent, and must be fully ripe for fresh eating; under-ripe fruit can be markedly astringent. Reported uses include preserves and pies, while local harvesting and domestic cultivation are documented in South Asian accounts. These culinary descriptions are source-backed fruit-use reports, not a claim that all plants have the same flavor or quality.[[#cite_note-2|[2]]][[#cite_note-3|[3]]]
