These are fresh mulberry leaves, ripened under the Okinawan sun. How about using them as food for silkworms, or for small animals like rabbits and tortoises? ⚫︎ The size of the leaves varies. ⚫︎ To maintain freshness, they will be shipped unwashed. (They will be taken directly to a Kuroneko Yamato service center.) ⚫︎ We will harvest them after receiving your order and ship them the same day. ⚫︎ Please understand that some wilting or steaming may occur during delivery. We select beautiful leaves, but as they are naturally grown, there is a possibility of scratches, insect damage, or the inclusion of small insects. As they are shipped at room temperature, some spoilage may occur depending on the temperature and humidity. We cannot offer compensation for anything other than delivery problems, so please consider purchasing only if you understand this.
