Mulberry trees are traditionally grown for their leaves as they’re the only food silkworms eat apart from being used as fodder for livestock.
They carry colorful berries, commonly black, white, or red, which are often made into wine, fruit juice, tea, jam, or canned foods. They can also be dried and eaten as a snack.
Due to their sweet flavor, impressive nutritional value, and various health benefits, mulberries are available as a supplement.
They provide 9.8% carbs, 1.7% fiber, 1.4% protein, and 0.4% fat by fresh weight.
Mulberries are also consumed dried. In this form, they contain 70% carbs, 14% fiber, 12% protein, and 3% fat, making them fairly high in protein compared to most berries.
