Product Overview

Mulberry Fruit (Sang Shen Zi) is the dried fruit of the mulberry tree, Morus alba. These small, deep-colored fruits have a naturally sweet, gently tart flavor and a soft, pleasantly chewy texture when rehydrated. Mulberries have a long history in Chinese food culture and traditional herbal preparations.

In home-style Chinese cooking, dried mulberries can be simmered into fragrant teas, incorporated into sweet soups and congee, or paired with other familiar ingredients such as red dates and goji berries. Their distinctive berry flavor makes them an approachable addition to traditional herbal recipes.

How to Use

Mulberry Tea

• Rinse the dried mulberries before preparation.
• For a simple tea, add approximately 10–15 g to 2 cups of water, bring to a boil, then gently simmer for 15–20 minutes. Adjust the amount to taste.
• Enjoy on its own or combine with jujubes or goji berries for a naturally fruity blend.

Sweet Soups & Congee
