We are excited to introduce a limited release of Taiwanese dried fruit for the holidays: mulberry, an unsung hero of the Taiwanese fruit lineup. It is so rarely seen commercially because it is a highly seasonal, labor-intensive crop with a short harvest period.

Our dried mulberries have a chewy texture, with a slight crunch from the seeds. A bit of sugar has been added to help preserve the fruit, and the resulting flavor is mildly tart and lightly sweet without being candy-like.

Rich in antioxidants, dried mulberries make a hearty addition to any breakfast or snack. We love eating them on their own by the handful, sprinkling them over yogurt, or mixing them into homemade granola.

When thinking of classic Taiwanese fruits, berries may not come to mind as readily as tropical superstars like mango and guava, but wild mulberry trees dot the island, and the berries are commonly consumed in the form of tea and shaved ice in southern Taiwan. Commercial cultivation of the fruit is not widespread because of the intense labor required to collect them within a short harvest period.

The farmers we work with are a husband-and-wife duo committed to the cause—they grow "large fruit 大果" black mulberries without pesticides and handpick them one-by-one to ensure no damage to the fruit.

The subsequent drying process is equally meticulous. First, the farmers blanch the mulberries to "kill any greenness" (aka sha qing 殺青), lock in the flavor the mulberry at peak ripeness, and minimize oxidation. Then, they mix the fruit with Taiwan-produced granulated sugar and slowly dehydrate the fruit at a low temperature. This low-and-slow drying method helps to retain the mulberry’s flavor and yields an optimally soft, chewy texture. Although they’re known as “large fruit” mulberries, the dehydration process shrinks the fruit and concentrates the sugars while mellowing out much of the tartness of the fresh berry.

Each densely packed box contains a bag of around 130 mulberries, give or take a few depending on the size.

Secure your snack stock with a bundle of three, or double the mulberry with our Mulberry Bundle, which includes both dried mulberry and our mulberry jam.
