Hello. I live in the Denver area of Colorado. I find these plants growing around the foothills and also growing in the city as landscaping plants. I have searched all over the internet and have not been able to figure out what they are. I haven't tested them yet, so I couldn't tell you anything about the flavor or texture. The plants grow in bushes usually no more than 6 feet tall. The berries are usually about 1/4 - 3/8 inch wide. They seem to start out red in the spring and by this time of year they're a dark purple color. Let me know if you have any ideas.
A couple other things to mention: the berries seem to grow in pairs off the branches, they have one large seed in the middle, and the light-colored flesh has kind of a grassy smell to it.
