Mulberries: No longer a rarity, the snakelike fruit is now in season
Almost everyone who sees a Pakistan mulberry for the first time exclaims, "Oh, my gosh, what is that?" It certainly is bizarre looking, a long, thin, purplish, snakelike fruit, anywhere from 1 to 5 inches long, with 3 inches being typical.
Although not yet exactly common at farmers markets, they're not nearly as rare as they used to be even a few years ago.
Wow! The only thing I know about mulberries is the nursery rhyme "here we go round the mulberry bush so early in the morning." Thanks for posting the photo, I don't remember ever seeing them.

Or, as Obama calls them, "Pock-ee-Stahn" Mulberries.
