Mulberries are elongated berries that grow on mulberry trees, resembling blackberries but with a unique sweet-tart flavor. They come in black, red, and white varieties and are notable for their iron content—unusual among fruits—and high resveratrol levels.
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.
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.
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.
Highly perishable—refrigerate immediately and use within 2-3 days. Wash just before eating. Freeze spread on baking sheet for longer storage. Dried mulberries store for months.
