Fresh/frozen berries

Does anyone know where I can buy berries? I would prefer fresh ones but frozen would work as well.

Thanks!

You're in luck. Seems it's the season for mulberries from what I've seen.

The old ladies at the end of Tran Hung Dao are selling 'em for around 15K a kilo. You can go to any of the foodfruit markets like Hang Da or Cho Buoi.

Any one got some good receipes for making Mul Wine?

Also pulled this off wiki ...

The ripe fruit is edible and is widely used in pies, tarts, wines and cordials. The fruit of the Black Mulberry, native to southwest Asia, and the Red Mulberry, native to eastern North America, have the strongest flavour. The fruit of the White Mulberry, an east Asian species which is extensively naturalised in urban regions of eastern North America, has a different flavour, sometimes characterised as insipid. The mature fruit contains significant amounts of resveratrol. [b]Unripe fruit and green parts of the plant have a white sap that is intoxicating and mildly hallucinogenic.[/b][1]

Interesting.

Cho Am Phu (19-12 Market on Hai Ba Trung) has strawberries - haven't tried them yet so can't comment on flavour, but they look good!

Was just at Western Canned Goods on Ba Trieu last week. They had frozen blueberries and I think, frozen raspberries.

You can get the frozen berries from Metro. There's a small selection under the frozen section. Strawberries are in season now so you can get them at VND 40,000 per kilo at most markets, like Che Hom or Che 19-12. They taste really yummy!
