Mulberries have long been acknowledged in Traditional Chinese Medicine as a remedy for a range of ailments. In Turkey, the berry has been used effectively to treat fevers, strengthen joints, and lower blood pressure. The unique protein profile of mulberries makes them an excellent addition to your diet, especially if you're looking to boost your protein intake from plant foods. With three grams of protein per ounce, the dried mulberry is indeed a super-fruit. You'll also find a noteworthy amount of iron, calcium, and vitamin C in a serving of mulberries, along with dietary fiber. As if this berry wasn't super enough, it's also abundant in resveratrol, the powerful antioxidant nutrient found in red wine. High levels of the potent antioxidant resveratrol make mulberries an excellent food for fighting the cellular damage caused by free radicals. Recent studies have shown that regular consumption of this special antioxidant may help promote a healthy cardiovascular system, boost immune function, and increase longevity. Mulberries release their pollen at over 1/2 the speed of sound, approximately 350 MPH! Making it the fastest known movement in the plant kingdom.
