Many other kinds of nuts and seeds were also eaten.
The principal berries used by the Indians of Yosemite and tribes lower down in the foothills were those of the manzanita (_Arctostaphylos glauca_).

They are about the size of huckleberries, of a light brown color, and when ripe have the flavor of dried apples.

They are used for eating, and also to make a kind of cider for drinking, and for mixing with some food preparations.

Manzanita is the Spanish for "little apple," and this shrub, with its rich red bark and pale green foliage, is perhaps the most beautiful and most widely distributed in California.

Strawberries, black raspberries, elderberries, wild cherries and the fruit of the Sierra plum (_Prunus subcordata_) are also used by the Indians, but wild edible berries are not as plentiful in California as they are in the Atlantic States.
GRASSHOPPERS AND WORMS.
In addition to the staple articles of food already mentioned, many other things were eaten when they could be obtained.
