What are Mulberries?

Mulberries (Morus spp.) are small, sweet-tart fruits that grow on deciduous trees in the Moraceae family. They range in color from red and white to deep black, with each variety offering a distinct taste and texture. Cultivated for centuries in Asia, Europe, and North America, mulberries are not only valued for their flavorful berries but also for their leaves, which are a vital food source for silkworms in the silk-making industry. Today, mulberries are enjoyed fresh, dried, or processed into various health foods and beverages. They are sometimes used with figs, raisins, or apricots in soft-textured fruit blends.

Types, Varieties & Forms of Mulberries

Mulberries are commonly categorized by their color and post-harvest processing:

• Black Mulberries – Deeply colored and sweet, black mulberries are widely consumed fresh or used in jams, syrups, wines, and dried fruit blends.‍
• White Mulberries – Known for their sweetness, white mulberries are typically dried and used in teas, herbal remedies, or as a sugar substitute in natural products.‍

The Mulberries on the Nutrada platform are available as dried, crumble and powder.

Harvest Season of Mulberries

Mulberries are typically harvested from late spring to early summer, with slight variations depending on climate and cultivar. In North America, harvesting generally occurs between May and June, while in regions like Turkey, China, and India, the season may extend through July and August. Due to their fragile nature, fresh mulberries are most often consumed locally, whereas dried forms are produced and traded globally.
