Saisa



The saisa is yet another berry that remains a staple in Re life. It grows in trees closer to the ground than most other berries so it is more dangerous to harvest but is very popular for its versatility. The berries can be eaten raw even when not yet ripe, and the leaves and flowers of the trees are also edible. The berry juice can be used to produce dye and ink. The Re concentrate the extract from the leaves to produce a poison that is harmless to the Re but nearly deadly to their predator the jaguar, so it is used to coat the spikes of the bole guards.
