White mulberry [Latin Morus alba] is a deciduous tree from the mulberry family (Moraceae), originating from China. Cultivation began in Europe around the 11th century. In practice, it is the only mulberry species found in Poland. The most sought-after raw material, besides the leaves, is the fruit of the white mulberry. The light-colored dried fruits of this plant resemble blackberries or raspberries in shape. They taste mostly sweet, sometimes slightly tart. These fruits are commonly used in medicinal preparations, primarily due to their blood sugar-lowering properties.

White Mulberry Fruit – Medicinal Properties

Well-dried white mulberry fruits are a treasure trove of anthocyanins, known for their anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, due to their relatively high resveratrol content, they can also lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease. White mulberry fruits are an excellent way to supplement fiber in your daily diet. One serving of the fruit contains nearly 20% of the recommended daily intake. The soluble fiber in mulberries helps control blood sugar levels and lower so-called bad cholesterol, while insoluble fiber is essential for digestive system health. The active compounds in mulberry have proven blood sugar-lowering properties. Research has shown that it slows the digestion of carbohydrates in the small intestine, thereby reducing their levels in the blood. Due to this property, white mulberry is used to treat abnormalities related to blood sugar control. The group particularly likely to be interested in using white mulberry are people at risk of diabetes and those already diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
