Mulberry fruits
They are juicy, aromatic and delicious, but rarely found in shops, so well worth growing. The large, long-lived trees also make an architectural feature thanks to their spreading habit and crooked, gnarled shape.
The fruits of the mulberry have a unique and delicious, sweet tangy flavor – an irresistible treat eaten fresh from the tree or made into desserts and jams.
Mulberries are easy to plant, in the ground or in containers. As they are slow growing, they can be kept in a large container for many years.
Health benefits:
Mulberries are packed with essential nutrients, including iron and vitamin C. Consuming these delicious berries may contribute to lowering cholesterol, regulating blood sugar levels, and potentially reducing the risk of cancer. While they have a long history in Chinese herbal medicine for treating various health conditions, it’s important to note that scientific evidence remains limited. Source: Healthline
