Mulberries growing wild and under cultivation in many temperate world regions. The mulberry fruit is a multiple fruit, approximately 2�3 cm (3?4�1 1?4 in) long. Immature fruits are white, green, or pale yellow. In most species the fruits turn pink and then red while ripening, then dark purple or black, and have a sweet flavor when fully ripe. The fruits of the white-fruited cultivar are white when ripe; the fruit of this cultivar is also sweet, but has a very bland flavor compared with darker varieties. The ripe fruit is edible and is widely used in pies, tarts, wines, cordials, and herbal teas.The fruit of the black mulberry (native to southwest Asia) and the red mulberry (native to eastern North America) have the strongest flavor, which has been likened to 'fireworks in the mouth'.
