Have you ever tasted it? Do you know what it’s called?

When ripe, the berries become very soft and develop a rich, sweet flavor that many people compare to a mix of blackberries and figs.

Easy to Enjoy in Many Ways

Mulberries are incredibly versatile. They can be:

• Eaten fresh
• Dried as a snack
• Added to smoothies
• Mixed into yogurt
• Used in jams and preserves
• Baked into pies and desserts

Because they spoil quickly after harvest, many people prefer to eat them fresh or freeze them for later use.
