I am curious, too. Here is a description from elsewhere. Mulberry
taste? The mulberries i have eaten when living in CA were more boring
than they looked to taste! If they reseed anything like such as
Sunberry/Wonderberry ( Solanum Burbankii), i'd be cautious where they are
planted.

STRAWBERRY SPINACH- aka Beetberry, Strawberry Blite, Chenopodium
capitatum - Salad~Dessert in one plant! This is a very rare ancient
vegetable dating back 400 years! It was rediscovered at old monasteries
in Europe. It is similar to Lamb's Quarters in habit, although smaller.
Grows 1 1/2 Feet high. Triangular, toothed leaves are thinner than
spinach, very nutritious and high in vitamins. The tender shoots are used
in salads or cooked like spinach. But the real surprise is that at each
leaf axle there is an abundance of sweet, strawberry-like fruits which
some say resemble mulberries. Will reseed vigorously.
