From cakes to candies and bars to brownies, there are a million ways to celebrate this bright berry. Loaded with vitamin C, iron, fiber, and potassium, mulberries are one of nature’s most nutritious candies. Mulberries come in three different colors – black, white, or red – and can be enjoyed either fresh or dried. If you’re lucky enough to have a mulberry tree in your backyard, now’s the time to harvest all that goodness. If not, head to your local farmer’s market and ask around, there might just be a mulberry farmer in your area. Still coming up short? Don’t despair. Most bulk food stores carry dried mulberries at reasonable prices. Get a big bag because you’ll be making these recipes again, and again (and again).
