Feeding Silkworms Mulberry Powder?

[Gryllidae Per Kcal]

I'm about to buy some silkworms and I've heard they do best on mulberry leaves but I currently have white mulberry powder. Can silkworms eat the berries produced by the tree they like so much?

They will not survive on the fruit. Buy some chow with the worms for best results.

White mulberry powder is what is used in the chow. Here’s a homemade recipe I used in the past:
