How do you do this? Ive heard some things about a recipe but cant seem to find it anywhere. What are the ingridients? Is the nutrition of the mulberry lost while making it? Thanks...

Unless you have a ton of money for analysis of ingredients how much of this and that you will not be able to make it.
If it was that easy everyone would lol.
Mulberry farms has a lock on that..

The entire silk industry in the whole world relies on silkworm production year round (its still not viable to harvest it from spiders 
)
The 'chow' is an established mixture of natural real mulberry leaves and whatever else to keep it in a suspended powder form. Nutrition should be about the same as in real leaves. Because the worms can produce silk just fine its logical to assume its good. Silkworms are picky eaters and will die without the correct mulberry food.
Mulberry farms gets its powder from huge international silkworm services providers. Its a well established industry.
By the way if you want to go around the middle man, the huge silkworm producers will sell the chow in bulk at a minimum of 300lbs.

Sorry didn;t make myself clear lol. Mulberry farms is the only one selling chow so they actually have a lock on it 
He is right though, if you want to buy 300lbs of powder go for it, if not go to the only one selling it..
