the edible, berry-like collective fruit of any tree of the genus Morus.
Mulberry trees came over on the Silk Road from China to Turkey as one of the precious goods for trade thousands of years ago, where their leaves served as food for silk worms, and their delicious berries enjoyed as an exotic treat. Today, the fruit is still an important part of the Turkish cultural tapestry, and their unique flavor is enjoyed by people around the world. Navitas Naturals offers the white Turkish variety of mulberry, which is shaken from the tree and sun-dried to optimize natural sweetness.
More than just a sweet treat, Navitas Naturals Mulberries are a true superfood. They are one of the few fruits to be considered a protein source -- boasting a respectable 3 grams of protein per ounce and are an excellent source of iron, calcium, vitamin C, and fiber. Mulberries also contain a high concentration of Resveratrol, an antioxidant compound that combats free-radical damage. Recent studies have shown that regular consumption of this special antioxidant helps promote a healthy heart and longevity.
Chewy and soft with a fig-like crunch, our whole, sun-dried, white mulberries are natures version of candy. A delightful alternative to raisins, take pleasure in eating them straight from the bag, or add this sweet superfood to oatmeal, pancakes, cookies, or smoothies.
