All About Mulberries

What Color Are Mulberries?

Mulberries are a dark red color when they are ripe. If they are a white, pink, or very light red color, they need more time before being picked. They’re safe to eat when their color darkens to a deep red!

Mulberries vs. Blackberries

Two types of berries that are very comparable are mulberries and blackberries. Typically, you can substitute mulberries for blackberries and vice versa in baking recipes. However, the two types are berries are also very different when it comes to shape, color, and taste! Mulberries are a dark red color, while blackberries are black. Mulberries have a longer oval shape than blackberries do and also have a sweeter taste!

Wondering what’s growing in your yard? Mulberries come from trees, while blackberries come from bushes. Looking at the shape and color can help you determine if it’s a mulberry or blackberry! If you’re still wondering if you have a mulberry tree or not, here’s a great article on how to see the difference.

Yes! If you have a surplus of mulberries but aren’t ready to use them in recipes yet, you can remove the stems and freeze the mulberries in an airtight container. Mulberries can last 5-7 days in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer!
