Is this POISONOUS or Edible? | American Beautyberry (Callicarpa Americana) | Home Apothecary

#hiddenoakshomestead #homesteading One of the things I enjoy most is going out into the forest and forage. I ran into a bright colored berry which screamed POISON to me. This is a rule of thumb I grew up with: If it is very pretty or colorful it's likely poisonous. I found out quickly, it was indeed an edible fruit, the American Beautyberry or Callicarpa Americana. I have been harvesting every year to make syrup and jelly, which my children absolutely love! We're a small family farm in the Florida Panhandle. After relocating back home from the Middle East we wanted to build up the most self- sufficient lifestyle possible with our kids, in order to grow as much of our own food as possible. Through raising livestock, tending to a garden, preserving food through canning and fermenting, learning about local fauna for medicinals and wild edibles, we are hoping to encourage others to do as much as possible for themselves through re-learning some of the forgotten "old" skills.
