T: Toot
T is for Toot or M is for Mulberry
Mulberry is a popular tree in Egypt, with its fruit eaten fresh or made into jam or juice (my favorite!). Their leaves are collected and fed to silkworms, who will munch on nothing else! Ripe mulberries come in a variety of colors – white, pink, red, and even black.
When the mulberries are ripe, school kids on their way home in the afternoon will shake the trees and gather the fallen fruit. And after a quick rinse under a nearby hose – the perfect after school snack! If you don’t want to shake the trees yourself, you can often find trays of toot for sale at your local green grocer. 🙂
YumYum 🙂
I doubt we have any trees nearby though, sigh 😀
Yeah, I’m not sure if there are mulberry trees in Sinai….hhhhmmmm…something to find out…maybe in north Sinai?
Spot on again.
