Interesting facts about Mulberry

It’s told that Romans used the leaves from the mulberry trees to treat different diseases of the trachea, mouth, and lungs.

There are different species of mulberries like black, red, and white mulberry.

Mulberries are highly nutritional because they contain vitamin A, vitamin B2, vitamin B3, vitamin B6, vitamin B9, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, iron, magnesium, manganese, and potassium. These berries are a great source of iron because they contain about 23% of RDI per 100 g.

Mulberries also contain resveratrol which protects you against stroke. They also have very high amounts of phenolic flavonoid phytochemicals, and studies have shown that eating mulberries have potential health effects against bacterial infections, diabetes, inflammation, cancer, neurological diseases, and aging.

These berries also contain zeaxanthin and lutein which have important antioxidant functions in the body. They are important for your eye health and may reduce your risk of cataracts and macular degeneration; zeaxanthin may protect your retina from harmful ultraviolet rays.
