Organic Mulberries

Organic mulberries are the fruit of the mulberry tree, which is native to Asia but now grown worldwide. They are typically dried for use in food products, concentrating their natural sugars and nutrients. The drying process is usually done using sun-drying or low-heat dehydration.

Dried mulberries are often used as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer in snack foods. Their chewy texture and sweet, slightly tart taste make them a popular addition to trail mixes, granola bars, and baked goods. They can also be used as a topping for yogurt or cereal.

Mulberries are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. JECFA has evaluated mulberries and found no safety concerns at typical consumption levels. Research suggests mulberries may have antioxidant properties, but more studies are needed to confirm significant health benefits from dietary intake.
