 What are Mulberries?

Mulberries (Morus spp.) are small, sweet and tangy fruits from trees in the Moraceae family. They come in red, white, and black, each with its own taste and texture. People have grown mulberries for many years in Asia, Europe, and North America. Besides their tasty flavor, mulberry leaves are important for feeding silkworms in the silk industry. Today, people eat mulberries both fresh and dried. They are often mixed with figs, raisins, or apricots in fruit mixes.

Mulberries are sorted by their color and how they are processed after picking:

• Black Mulberries: These are dark and sweet. People often eat them fresh or use them in jams, syrups, and dried fruit mixes.
• White Mulberries: These are sweet as well and are mostly dried. They are often used in teas or as a natural sweetener.

Mulberries are usually picked from late spring to early summer. The exact timing can change based on the weather and the type of mulberry. In North America, the harvest is mostly in May and June. In countries like Turkey, China, and India, the season can extend into July and August. Fresh mulberries are fragile, so they are often eaten near where they are grown. However, dried mulberries are sold all over the world.
