Description
- While many dried fruits contain 30 to 40 grams of sugar (more sugar than a candy bar!), dried mulberries contain less than half the amount of sugar found in raisins and significantly less than dried figs, cranberries, bananas, pineapples, mangos and dates.
- Even though they're lighter in sugar, these little berries are sweet, with a taste similar to fig and a consistency like a raisin.
- The berries pack a powerful antioxidant punch and you can get 20% of your daily fiber needs in just 1/3 of a cup!
- White mulberries are identical to their black or red counterparts, with a white, pink or light purple flesh. They resemble elongated blackberries. Compared to Red mulberries, the white variety are smaller, more mildly sweet, and are not as tart. White mulberries have a mild honey taste and are best when slightly overripe.
- A delightful grab-n-go snack or addition to your sweet treats. Mulberries are an excellent source of iron, vitamin C, calcium and protein
ince ancient times, mulberries have been highly valued. The trees were carried along the Silk Road from China to Turkey. Mulberry leaves are the sole food source of silk worms. They eat of the leaf of the mulberry tree and out comes delicate silk. Silk worms certainly must understand something spectacular about the mulberry. The berries themselves were a celebrated food by humans, traded and savored for their heavenly sweetness.
