This tree is highly medicinal… but hardly anyone eats its fruit anymore 👀

🫐 5. Dark Mulberries Carry a Completely Different Medicinal Chemistry Than the Leaves
As Mulberries ripen into deep red, purple, or nearly black fruit, they accumulate large amounts of anthocyanins.
These include compounds such as cyanidin derivatives, along with rutin, quercetin, and chlorogenic acid.
Experimental studies of Mulberry fruit and anthocyanin-rich fractions have demonstrated neuroprotective, anti-atherosclerotic, glucose-regulating, lipid-lowering, and anti-inflammatory effects.
So the leaves and berries aren’t simply two versions of the same medicine.
The leaves are especially notable for their unusual DNJ iminosugar chemistry, which interferes with carbohydrate digestion.
The dark berries instead develop an anthocyanin-rich chemistry that acts through completely different biological pathways.

⭐ Bonus Fact
Mulberry is essentially several medicinal plants growing on the same trunk.
The leaves contain DNJ and other compounds involved in carbohydrate metabolism.
The dark fruit concentrates anthocyanins and other protective polyphenols.
The root bark contains distinctive prenylated flavonoids with antimicrobial and other biological activities.
Even the branches and other parts of the tree have their own history of medicinal use.
That’s what makes Mulberry far more interesting than simply calling it a “superfruit.”
Different parts of the same tree produce different chemistry—and potentially interact with completely different systems in the body.
