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.
