The Zehrs (Loblaws) supermarket chain in Ontario often has litre 
bottles of black mulbery juice at around $8.50. It's delicious. If 
memory serves it comes from Iran but I am not quite sure about that.

I have read that in old times in Afghanistan, dried mulberries were a 
staple food. The Bulk Barn chain here sells them sometimes. I haven't 
been overly impressed with the flavour. I suspect they may be different 
cultivars or strains from those grown for fresh eating.
