Dried Mulberry Fruit (Sang Shen Zi) is a sweet and sour herb used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

The dark, sweet berries are usually brewed into infusions or added to congee and desserts. They sit alongside Dried Mulberry Leaf (Sang Ye) from the same plant, and are classically combined with Dried Goji Berries (Gou Qi Zi) and Dried Jujube Dates (Hong Zao).

Balance: Used in traditional blends intended to potentially encourage a sense of natural equilibrium.

Recommended Dosage

We recommend around 10g per portion.

Steep the berries in freshly boiled water for ten to fifteen minutes for a sweet, dark infusion, or simmer them gently for a fuller flavour. They can also be added to congee and porridge towards the end of cooking, stirred into baking, or eaten straight from the pack.

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
