How strange. Does no other part of your body turn black after eating them.?

No, only my fingers. Some years ago, I was taking some blood from a
patient and I had to double glove as I was so ashamed of my black
fingers. I was worried in case the patient thought I had filthy
fingers.

I don't want to be an alarmist but presumably you HAVE checked that this
doesn't indicate some rather more serious but hidden allergy?
