Organic Dried White Mulberries 250g

White mulberries are the dried fruit of the white mulberry tree (Morus alba) — one of the most nutritionally distinctive dried fruits available. Unlike most dried fruits which are primarily sugars and fibre, white mulberries contain notable amounts of protein (13g per 100g — exceptional for a fruit), iron, calcium, and Vitamin C. These certified organic dried white mulberries from Just Natural Organic have a mild, honey-like sweetness with a slightly fibrous, chewy texture and a flavour reminiscent of vanilla and fig.

White mulberries also contain resveratrol (the same antioxidant compound found in red wine), 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) — a compound associated with blood sugar regulation — and anthocyanins. They are naturally lower in sugar than most dried fruits (around 50g per 100g) while providing a higher protein content.

FAQs

Why are white mulberries unusual among dried fruits?
Most dried fruits are primarily sugars and fibre — protein is negligible. White mulberries are exceptional at 13g protein per 100g, comparable to some legumes. They also contain 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ), a compound associated with slowing carbohydrate absorption and supporting healthy blood glucose levels — making them a particularly interesting choice for those managing blood sugar.

Are these the same as black mulberries?
No — white mulberries (Morus alba) are a different species to black mulberries (Morus nigra). White mulberries are lighter in colour, milder in flavour, and have a higher protein content. Black mulberries have a more intensely tart, winey flavour. Both are nutritious but have different flavour profiles.

Are these gluten-free?
Yes — mulberries are naturally gluten-free.
