Organic Dried White Mulberries - Morus Alba L.

Description

Latin Name: Morus Alba L.

Common Names: Common Mulberry, Silkworm Mulberry

Origin Country: Turkey

Morus alba L., commonly known as white mulberry, is a deciduous tree native to China and a member of the Moraceae family. Originally cultivated to feed silkworms, it has spread widely and is now found in many parts of the world, including Europe, North America, and Asia. The tree typically grows between 10 to 20 meters tall, with broad, lobed green leaves and small, cylindrical fruits that turn white to pinkish or purple when ripe. Its small, sweet, and nutrient-dense berries are typically dried after harvesting to preserve their natural sugars and nutritional value. The fruit is typically white, though it can sometimes appear pink or purple when fully ripe. These berries are often eaten as a healthy snack or added to dishes like granola, smoothies, or baked goods and have a sweet, mildly tart flavour.

As a Snack

They can be eaten straight from the bag as a naturally sweet, chewy snack. They’re a great alternative to processed sugary treats.

Culinary Uses

Sprinkle them over oatmeal, yogurt, muesli, or cereal to add natural sweetness and a boost of nutrients. They also pair well with other dried fruits and nuts in homemade granola or trail mix. You can also use them as a substitute for raisins or other dried fruits in muffins, energy bars, bread, or cookies. Their sweetness enhances baked goods naturally without added sugars.

In Smoothies

Blend them into smoothies for added fibre, natural sugar, and a subtle fruity flavour. You can soak them in water beforehand to soften them, making them easier to blend.

Teas

A handful of dried mulberries can be steeped in hot water for 10–15 minutes to make a mild, naturally sweet herbal infusion.
