www.sarcraft.com said:Beautyberry is indeed edible, and is even tasty when cooked properly. Berries can be eaten raw, although they have a bland, mealy, astringent flavor. They are much better made into a jam, jelly, sauce, or wine. Cooking breaks down some of the tannins in the seeds and skins and allows the pleasant, fruity flavor to shine through.

Interesting article, thank you. The recipe I saw said to boil them to make a jelly but I hadn't seen an explanation of what the cooking actually does to make them more edible.
