About Mulberry
Mulberries are soft, sweet, and juicy fruits that grow on deciduous trees of the genus Morus. They range in color from white and red to deep purple and are eaten fresh, dried, or processed into jams, desserts, and beverages. Mulberries are high in vitamins C and K, iron, and antioxidants, supporting overall health. Native to Asia, Europe, and North America, mulberries are typically harvested from late spring through summer, depending on the variety.
