Dried Mulberry at Crema House in Ottawa is a pack of dried white mulberries, called toot khoshk in Farsi, from our nuts and dried fruit counter. Mulberries dry to a pale gold, and the taste is honeyed and gentle with a slight chew. In Iran they are eaten with tea in place of sugar, and often mixed with walnuts, which is a pairing we recommend. They contain no added sugar, dairy or egg, so they are vegan, and they are packed in a kitchen that handles nuts. They are a natural sweet, filling in small amounts. The pack keeps for months in a dry place. Order for pickup on Clyde Avenue, and drink them with a glass of Persian Tea, the way they are meant to be eaten.
