Plant Profile: Saw Palmetto with Shay

Our plant profile for the month of September, 2022 is on Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens)! Learn botanical information, plus the historic uses of the S. repens berries, traditions, energetics, actions, constituents and more!
⚠️ Note About Foraging in Florida: Effective July 2018, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) requires a permit to harvest and sell saw palmetto berries in Florida. The Endangered Plant Advisory Council unanimously recommended adding saw palmetto to the FDACS commercially exploited plant list.
