@bjywamer Yes. Something I didn’t know. Here is what ChstGPT says:
“Yes, beautyberries (specifically, American beautyberry, Callicarpa americana) are edible. The berries are typically bright purple and grow in clusters around the stems of the plant. While they are not commonly eaten raw due to their slightly astringent taste, they are often used in making jellies, wines, and sauces.”
