4 oz - ZIN: 427227 - Remember the old rhyme, "Here we go round the mulberry bush?" Well you may be surprised to learn that certain varieties of mulberries can grow to a height of 70 or 80 feet - not very bush-like!. The ancient fruit grows wild throughout Asia minor, Armenia, and parts of the Middle East. Ancient? Yes, it has been recorded that even the ancient Egyptians ate mulberries. Pliny the Elder, an Egyptian writer, claimed that mulberry trees grew so fast that when their buds began to appear, "their breaking forth may be evidently heard.". The fruit is extremely juicy and has a refreshing, slightly acidic, sweet flavor. Incidentally, it also makes a great tea, brewed hot or over ice.
