My Hands Are Turning Purple!

When was the last time you ate mulberries? You won't find them at the grocery store. But in my town they are everywhere, growing on hundreds of mulberry trees throughout town. I never pass a mulberry tree in season without stopping to pick a few berries and plop them in my mouth. Around here, the trees start bearing fruit in June and continue to produce berries through July into early August. They are quite delicious. And nutritious! And free. When picking and eating those black mulberries with purple juice something happens. Your finger tips start turning purple from the mulberry juice. Thankfully, it is not permanent and easily washes off. Purple fingers is a small price to pay for the deliciousness Ma Nature provides for us through these trees. When in season I eat mulberries almost every single day. It's easy because everywhere that I walk there are mulberry trees. And I do a lot of walking. How often do you eat mulberries?
