Dried Mulberry Fruit (Morus alba) — Xinjiang Sang Shen, Food-Herb for Tea & Daily Nourishment

Dried Mulberry Fruit (Morus alba), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Sāng Shèn (桑椹), is the sun-dried, gently baked ripe fruit of the mulberry tree, a classic food herb (药食同源) prized for centuries as a sweet, yin-nourishing botanical. Grown in Xinjiang and dried to a deep black-purple, Sang Shen has long been honored as a gentle blood- and yin-nourishing fruit used in teas, congee, wines, and daily tonics. Its nature is sweet and slightly cold, making it a mild yet deeply nourishing herb for moistening dryness, supporting the Liver and Kidney, and enriching body fluids.
