Sun Dried White Mulberries - Organic (1 lb)
More than just a sweet treat, our Mulberries are a true superfood. They are a rich source of
resveratrol which is found primarily in red wine. Mulberry fruits and leaves also contain a wide variety of
vitamins, minerals, and other important nutrients. Mulberries contains moranoline, which delays the absorption
of carbohydrates and promotes healthy glucose levels already within normal range. The anthocyanins in Mulberry
are strong antioxidants and may provide cardiovascular protection, immune enhancement, and stress reduction as
potential health benefits.
Besides being an antioxidant, resveratrol is an anti-mutagen and a strong anti-inflammatory. An anti-mutagen is a
compound that inhibits the mutation of healthy normal cells into cancerous growths and tumors. Chronic inflammation
is believed to be at the root of many diseases, including heart disease and cancer. Synthetic anti-inflammatories
cannot be taken on a regular basis to prevent chronic inflammation without risking other health problems. Natural
anti-inflammatories, on the other hand, are found primarily in plant foods and can be consumed on a regular basis
throughout a person’s life with no side effects Since it is one of the natural anti-inflammatories, it is believed
that the benefits of resveratrol may help prevent of heart disease, cancer and other diseases associated with
chronic inflammation. Resveratrol also may have an anti-aging effect on cells due to combating free radical damage.
Benefits of resveratrol are currently being studied for its effects on Alzheimer’s disease and in cancer
prevention, suppression and treatment.
Mulberry has long been used in traditional medicines. Among its many uses, it has been given as a tonic to treat
the kidneys, fatigue, anemia, and weakness. Clinical research has shown that Mulberry can provide multiple health
benefits, including helping to promote healthy glucose levels; encouraging healthy cellular replication and
membrane stability; promoting healthy cholesterol; and controlling the digestion of carbohydrates.
