Title: Re: [NAFEX] mulberries, cropping period and uses

I've gotten something similar here.  The ones I had were sun dried, so the seeds were viable - they grew without any stratification, right out of the berry.

> I don't have enough mulberries to bother with preserving them, but I have found dried white mulberries in a Middle Eastern grocery in Seattle.  They make an interesting nibble.  They are sweet without much acid to balance them.  Not very fruity.  The texture is kind of gummy, like a dried out jelly bean.  On the package there is some arabic and a cartoon sketch of an old woman holding a bowl of hot cereal (oatmeal?) with dried mulberries sprinkled on top.  I haven't tried that recipe yet.
