Description
Berry Beginnings by Shirley Mangini.
I designed this to represent new beginnings with a black berry sprig arriving in an egg. This is designed to be placed in a Kitchen or Restaurant, particularly in large format in the tall version.
In Early Anglo-Saxon Times they were called brambles and baked into primitive pies to celebrate the first fruit feast of Lughnasadh at the beginning of August. They are are native to Asia, Europe. North America, Australia, Africa and South America and have the most widespread geographic origin of any fruit crop.
Blackberries have been used in Europe for over 2000 years; they are consumed as food, as we;; as used for medicinal purposes, and planted in hedgerows to keep out intruders
Ancient Greek used blackberry to treat gout. And it was sothat in Europe that well into the 18th century, the fruit was called goutberry. Arab Physicians believed it was an aphrodesiac.
The early setters of Europe and North America found wild blackberries growing in abundance. Although some were harvested for food, the majority, because of their thorniness and vigorous growth, were look upon as a nuisance that interfered with land clearing and cultivation.
Now days they are consider one of the healthiest fruits to eat, being high in Fiber and antioxidents
