Blackberry - Mulberry Blanche Séchée Bio

Another fruit that's good for us, but this one does more than give us our daily dose of vitamin C: mulberries help us lose weight! Cultivated in China for thousands of years, mulberries are, according to one serious study, a magnificent fat burner. Used as an anti-aging agent or to tone the blood, mulberries contain rutin, which is responsible for this tour de force. Beyond the fruit's benevolent side, the mulberry is magnificent on the palate, soft and sweet to perfection, and will accompany your breakfasts alongside goji berries or almonds.

A little history
Well-known to ancient civilizations and native to Asia (white mulberry: Asia -China and Japan- / black mulberry: Persia -Iran and Afghanistan-), the mulberry tree was one of the first fruit trees to be cultivated as early as 2,500 BC. From the Far East to the Near East, this tree was cultivated for its fruit, mulberries (not to be confused with wild mulberries, which grow on brambles), but also for its leaves, which served as food for silkworms. In the East, the white mulberry (Morus alba L.) was favored for sericulture (breeding of the mulberry bombyx or silkworm) and silk production. White mulberry also plays an important role in Chinese pharmacopoeia.
Black mulberry (Morus Nigra L.) was highly prized by the Greeks and Romans, who ate the fruit and used it to tint wine. It spread throughout the Mediterranean as early as antiquity. It wasn't until the 15th century and Louis XI that the mulberry tree timidly arrived in France (creation of the 1st silk factory). Later, Henri IV and Olivier de Serres (an agronomist from the Ardèche region) established it more comfortably, with the aim of developing French sericulture. A member of the Moraceae family, the mulberry is the last tree to leaf out. The ancient Persians saw this late leafing as a symbol of wisdom, preventing it from being affected by late frosts.
Depending on the mulberry variety, the fruit has a different flavor.
Originally from Turkey, the Mulberry Blanche will surprise you with its sweetness on the palate. Delicate, mellow and pleasantly sweet, your palate will be spoiled by this deliciously aromatic and suave sensation: a treat for gourmets...
