Oh boy!!!! Mulberry season is here and the Persian Mulberry trees have pounds and pounds of long green mulberries on them!! Green mulberries that are quickly turning dark purple and falling to the ground in the slightest breeze. Soon the ground beneath the mulberry trees will be a thick gooey carpet of squished black purple mulberries and get all over our shoes. The trick is to pick as many as possible before they fall off. I wish they didn’t fall off so easily! These are big tall trees and the gorgeous, unreachable berries at the top will drive us crazy because they’ll be the most glorious, huge, long and dark from the sun. Some of ours are still red because the season is just starting. Yum!!!
Mulberries are an amazing superfood berry, bursting with antioxidants and nutrients because of their dark purple color, but with no hard crunchy seeds like blackberries or raspberries. They taste a little like a loganberry. They have an elegant, yummy & sophisticated purple flavor 🙂 They make fabulous smoothies and freeze well, but are the best right off the tree! Persian Mulberry trees are really rare around here, which is a big shame because they grow so well in this climate. These particular trees are originally from Persia. We’ll sell these extra yummy sweet organic Mulberries in small quantities but they’re very perishable. Please email us if you want some!
