Found a few Beautyberry bushes starting to produce berries. Do they taste better when cooked than raw?

    They’re usually used for jams or sauces with quite a bit of sugar added.

    I think those berries are generally grown for their beauty, rather than for eating. Hence the name.

    Yes. I made a jelly with them, and it tastes pretty good. My wife described it as similar to guava, but with a sort of floral taste. Raw they are kind of bitter/astringent tasting.

    I paint with these, very rich, vibrant color.

    Processed, with lots of sugar, they are very bland.

  7. Hah I got a couple of these off the clearance rack at the local greenhouse. Hope the birds like them!
