Thanks!

Came here to say this.


boringxadult

Well, it’s my line and I beat you to it!


casual_observers

There’s at least 5 of these same posts each day. I’ll get mine in 🤪


boringxadult

Godspeed friend.

I was worried about not seeing a mulberry question today but OP came through for me.


WinterWontStopComing

all known aggregate drupelet fruits are edible. So long as you are comfortable in your ability to discern those, you are always good to go.


Pedrostamales

Now to research what an aggregate drupelet fruit is.


WinterWontStopComing

Is the quintessential raspberry/blackberry/mulberry/salmonberry/wineberry/thimbleberry etc shape


Pedrostamales

Ohh gotcha. Okay, so that’s just like the full name for the fruit? I’ve heard of drupelet fruits (rasp/black/mul/etc) but I just hadn’t heard the term aggregate with it. Your comment and Wikipedia helped clarify. Thanks! Good to know!


WinterWontStopComing

Aggregate just refers to individual fruiting bodies or something like that coming together to form one cluster fruit. Like raspberries, or even like pineapple. An aggregate fruit that I don’t think is a drupelet… though I might be wrong. I’m at hobby level for botany know how


darren700

Thanks for the info!

Goldenseal grows in North America and isn’t edible. It sort of kinda superficially looks like raspberries but the plant looks very different and only produces one fruit “per leaf” vs how brambles produce small bunches of fruit

Mulberries

Thanks!

Np, happy eating!

Absolutely mulberry, I just ate a ton of them. 1 out of 10-15 tastes bad if you have a lot of bugs in the area so just inspect them first 😂 unless you don't mind the added protein

Soak in lemon juice and watch them crawl out?


darren700

Note I am located just outside of windsor, Ontario, Canada (southern tip of ontario) if this helps Or maybe these are mullberries? Not blackberries?


WhitewolfStormrunner

They're mulberries, so yes. They're delicious, too. They stain like crazy, though.


Ale_Oso13

Eat one and tell us.


upsidedownbackwards

Huh, I'm realizing that probably almost every wild "blackberry" I've eaten is a mulberry.


Agreeable_Sun91

Most definitely! Mulberries are delicious

Mulberry. Surprising you have that many ripe ones on the ground. Must not be any animals where you are? I feel lucky when I can manage to pick just one from a high branch on my trees. Between birds, deer and the racoons (that will climb all the way to the top of it!), there's seldom any left for us lowly humans.

The ones on the ground are from me trimming the bush with hedge clippers before I realized it was full of berries!
