I really don't know, but can you eat 30 goodberries at once?
It would depend on the type of berry. Can you eat 30 blueberries at once? 30 strawberries?
But as you can only get healing from 8 berries on any given day, eating 30 wouldn't do anything extra.
If you were holding a bunch, I'd have to say eating the handful is the same as drinking a potion.

Good point, can you eat 8 at one time? Is it a free, move, standard action? Can you keep them in your mouth like chewing tobacco and then just munch when ready?
Basically trying to figure out if the spell is worth anything
It is not worth anything in a fight, use CLW. The times it comes into it's own it really shouldn't make any difference how long it takes to eat a berry.

heck, I burn a few of the spells off before a fight (2PP for a wand of the spell) and hand the berries out in groups of 8. (I use Holly Berries, so they are real small). That way the other PC is able to do his own healing - it's like giving him a Healing Potion of up to 8HP of healing (controllable by the PC).
and any unused berries get used as food late in the day (or given to beggars etc. as we feel like it).

Actually, I've been using a wand for healing for a little while... (At low levels). Net healing per charge is only 2d4, but it comes in one HP units. So it's great to "top off" - being able to heal up that last HP or two without using an entire CLW wand charge. No "wasted healing".
I know it wont be as useful as we level up, with a limit of 8 HP healing per PC per day - but then I'll still be using it to "top off" HP, and each berry is a "full meal"! And I can see using it go get past encounters with "hungry monsters" - toss a few berries in it's mouth and it's not "hungry" any more! Maybe it'll go away.
Anyway - not a total replacement for a CLW wand, but useful in it's own way.... and the RP possibilities!
Halfling PC:"each berry is a full meal... how many have you had this morning? Five for me..."
Goblin PC:"BURP! ... 10 I think. Not heal me any more, but not so hungry right now..."

The edible part of a banana is actually the seed.
Knowledge (Nature) to discern what berries are ripe in the region during that season of the year.

ah - no.
Banana Wiki.. "The banana is an edible fruit – botanically a berry" - Wikipedia
the common banana most people eat is the Cavendish bananas - which are a sterile hybrid. And all of them are basically clones, which is... another story. The "seeds" in the Cavendish are the little black specks inside the fruit - which are very sterile and have almost disappeared in the Cavendish hybrid (and in most commercially grown varsities). If you find a "Wild" banana, the seeds are VERY noticeable and MUSH larger in the fruit.
I stand corrected.
The more I think about good berries the more I want to make a higher level spells that does like Heal level healing and call it Senzu bean.
