Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between mulberries and blackberries?
Though similar in appearance, they're unrelated. Mulberries are elongated, grow on trees, have stems attached, and are sweeter with less tartness. Blackberries grow on bramble bushes, are plumper, and have more intense tart-sweet flavor.
Are white mulberries the same as black mulberries?
They're different species. White mulberries (used for silkworms) are milder and less flavorful. Black mulberries are more robust and berry-like in taste. Red mulberries fall between. Black mulberries have higher antioxidant content.
Why aren't mulberries sold in stores?
Mulberries are extremely perishable and stain everything they touch, making them difficult to transport and sell commercially. They're best enjoyed from backyard trees or farmers markets. Dried mulberries are the common commercial form.
