One recognized form however bears yellow fruit s. The berries have an extremely bitter taste. The plant is a deciduous shrub found in open forests and thickets all over North America . Its northern limit is around the Arctic Circle . The shrub reaches a height of 1 4 m 3 13 feet . Fruits are extensively collected by some Canadian First Nations peoples such as Nlaka pamux Thompson , St at imc Lillooet and Secwepemc Shuswap in the province of British Columbia . The bitter berries are not eaten directly but rather processed as sxusem sxushem , also xoosum hooshum or Indian ice cream . Branches bearing fruit are hit with a stick and only the very ripe fruits that fall off are collected. A clean mat or tarpaulin is placed below the bush for collection. The berries are later placed into a great bowl that is absolutely free of oil or fat and are mixed with some sweet fruit such as raspberries. The mixture of berries is crushed and vigorously beaten in the manner of whipping cream in order to raise the typical foam of the confection. The berry has an agreeable blend of sweet and somewhat bitter tastes, possibly comparable to that encountered ... had sxusem on the menu in recent years. image Shepherdia canadensis.gif thumb left Sketch ... soop and berry olallie .

Sxusem pronounced s khushem , with kh sound resembling the final sound in the Scottish word loch or Indian ice cream is a dessert made by native people throughout the Pacific Northwest region of North America . It is made by crushing the saponin containing berries of the Canada Buffaloberry Shepherdia canadensis . The liquid produced is mixed with equal parts of water and whipped with a whisk . This produces a foamy substance similar in texture to whipped cream . Traditionally this foam was eaten at larger gatherings with wooden spoons and children were known to play with the foam, sometimes throwing it at each other. Pure Indian ice cream is refreshing but quite bitter. Traditionally, it was eaten this way, with the occasional addition of mild Sugar substitute sweeteners such as fireweed Epilobium angustifolium , Camassia quamash camas bulb Camassia quamash or sweet berries such as Gaultheria shallon salal berries Gaultheria shallon , or Thimbleberry thimbleberries Rubus parviflorus . Nowadays many people sweeten it with sugar .
