Mulberry
Morus
A sweet, flavorful berry recognized for its high concentration of 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ), which effectively modulates blood glucose levels and supports metabolic stability.
Nutrient Profile
Health Benefits
Glycemic Control
Contains DNJ, a potent compound that inhibits carbohydrate-digesting enzymes, reducing post-prandial glucose spikes.
Antioxidant Support
Rich in anthocyanins and resveratrol, which protect against oxidative stress and support vascular health.
Preparation Guide
Fresh mulberries are preferred for their higher Vitamin C content and active DNJ levels.
Best For: Maximizing nutrient absorption and digestibility
Alternative Usage
Best For: General health maintenance

Frequently Asked Questions about Mulberry
Does mulberry help with blood sugar?
Yes, mulberries contain 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ), which inhibits the enzymes that break down carbohydrates into glucose, helping to prevent blood sugar spikes.
Is dried mulberry as healthy as fresh?
Dried mulberries are more concentrated in minerals and fiber but contain higher sugar per gram and lower Vitamin C. Fresh is preferred for glycemic control.
