Mulberries: Fun Facts
There’s nothing more special than a big bowl of mulberries. It doesn’t happen too often – mulberries have a fairly short season and you don’t generally find them in the supermarkets. But when it does, these richly-coloured berries are always popular.
They come from a fast-growing tree that thrives in a range of climates, and in Spring you’ll see backyard trees dripping with mulberries.
Mulberries have great nutritional value – they contain a decent amount of fibre, are particularly rich in vitamin C and iron and also contain vitamin K1, potassium and vitamin E.
The leaves of the mulberry tree are also the only food that silkworms eat!
