Some botanists claim that they originated from China, but it’s impossible to tell exactly because there are so many varieties of mulberry plant spread all over the globe. What is possible to determine is that white and black mulberries are native to Central China and Asia respectively, while red mulberries come from America. There are mentions of these plants and their delicious fruits in ancient Babylonian texts and Greek myths. The practitioners of Chinese herbal medicine were using mulberry plants in their recipes for several millennia. Therefore, it’s completely safe to say that people from different parts of the world have been enjoying mulberries for thousands of years. Today you can do this easily by buying Organic Dried Mulberries from Food To Live. They are delicious, healthy, and low in calories. As the product is organic certified, you can be sure it’s completely free from any dangerous contaminants. Fantastic Properties and Uses of the Mulberry Plant Mulberry fruits are delicious and extremely good for you because they are full of antioxidants and essential nutrients. However, this plant is truly extraordinary due to the versatility of its uses. First of all, mulberry leaves are the only natural food source for the silkworm. Therefore, these trees are a vital element of the silk production industry. The bark of the mulberry tree was used to make paper in the ancient times. Some books made with it still exist today. Mulberry leaves are also used to make tea. It’s rather delicious and generally beneficial to your wellbeing because it also contains antioxidants. The leaves are an important ingredient in Chinese herbal medicine and some food supplement manufacturers of today use them in their products. Even the pigments from mulberry plants are used in various industries. Black and red mulberries yield their pigments (anthocyanins) to become natural food colorants. Centuries ago, black mulberries were also used to dye fabrics. Scientists study these compounds due to their potent antioxidant properties. It’s believed that the extract of mulberry pigments can have many pharmaceutical applications. Mulberry fruits are used for cooking or just eaten as they are, both dried and fresh. There are over 15 species of mulberry plants and the taste of each fruit differs. The flavor as well as color are greatly affected by cultivation practices and climate. This means that even mulberries of the same species can produce different tasting fruits depending on how they are grown. Enjoy Dried Mulberries from Food To Live Organic Dried Mulberries from Food To Live taste great and can be used for making a large number of dishes. Their flavor is mild, unlike that of most dried berries, so you can incorporate them in many recipes. Our dried mulberries are pleasantly sweet and you can enhance their flavor by soaking them in wine or lime juice. -------------------------- Dried Mulberries Benefits for Health All edible fruits are good for you, but dried mulberries stand out among their peers. When compared to other berries, they have the highest levels of proteins and iron. Therefore, they are extremely good for athletes and especially bodybuilders. Vegans and vegetarians benefit from these properties as well, because their diets require more protein-rich foods. Bear in mind human bodies cannot process all the amino acids (proteins) we consume. For example, the elements we get from meat and dairy are rather difficult to digest. However, dried mulberries contain an assortment of amino acids that we can assimilate and use easily. This means they are more nutritionally valuable than many other foods. The most important health benefits of dried mulberries, however, come from flavonoids. These are antioxidants found in plants. These elements have a tremendous positive effect on your wellbeing. In fact, they benefit every system on some level, so your body as a whole should love dried mulberries. Don’t forget that this fruit also contains a lot of vitamin C, which is another valuable antioxidant and immunity booster. Because of this, snacking on some dried mulberries during the cold season is as good as eating oranges and drinking ginger tea with lemon. Another important benefit to consider is the fact that mulberry fruit contains almost as much dietary fiber as protein. Fiber-rich foods are good for you and keep you feeling sated. They are a good choice for weight management diets as well as detox programs because this substance soaks up toxins from the liver when it travels through your digestive tract. Dried Mulberries: Side Effects of Overeating Dried mulberries are a truly healthy food, but eating too many of them in one go might not be the best idea. The chemicals in the fruit combined with large amounts of fiber may have a somewhat laxative effect if you consume too many. However, ‘too many’ in this case, constitutes several cups. Eating so much dried fruits of any kind isn’t wise because they have a higher calorie count than fresh berries. Note that the ‘diarrhea-inducing’ effect of mulberry ‘overdose’ is more prominent in case of eating fresh fruits. There is also another side effect of mulberries that isn’t related to health. The pigment in black mulberries is extremely potent. You should be careful when working with these fruits, especially when they are fresh. The berries are 80% water and extremely tender, so they bruise easily and spray their colorful juice all over the place. The stains on your hands will wash out in a few hours, but your clothes may not be so lucky. Dried Mulberries: Glycemic Index People who need to keep track of their glucose levels and sugar intake don’t have to worry about eating dried mulberries in moderation. This food has a naturally low glycemic index and makes a good snack. The fruits contain carbs and fiber that your body processes gradually, thus avoiding sugar spikes. -------------------------- Dried Mulberries: Nutrition Information Dried mulberries are packed with nutrients, like all berries and fruits. However, their chemical makeup is rather different from any other foods. Most importantly, they have very high contents of iron and vitamin C. Their levels are higher in fresh fruits, but those only keep for 3 days max and bruise easily. Efficient dehydration allows to preserve a large part of these essential elements. Other important nutrients contained in this fruit include: •Copper •Manganese •Zinc •Calcium •Potassium •Vitamin E •Vitamin A •B vitamins Dried mulberries even contain small amounts of selenium, which is rather rare in plant foods and definitely is another important reason to include them in a vegan diet. Dried Mulberries: Calories, Fats, and Sugar Raw, fresh mulberries are extremely sweet. A cup of them contains about as much sugar as a candy bar, which is a major issue for your diet. However, dried mulberries lose over a half of their sugar content during dehydration, so they are much healthier on this front. These fruits aren’t high in calories regardless of whether they are fresh or dried. Combined with their natural sweetness, this particular trait makes them a great addition for many dietary dishes. They increase the nutritional value of any meal and save you the trouble of using honey or agave syrup to make it tastier. Having a pack of dried mulberries on hand will ensure you can whip up a quick, waistline-friendly dessert anytime. Dried mulberries are 70% carbs and only 3% fat (unsaturated). The little fat they do contain is of the ‘good’ variety and provides you with the heart-friendly HDL cholesterol. How Long Do Dried Mulberries Last? Your package of dried mulberries comes with a ‘best by’ date as any product should. However, the great thing about dry fruits is that they last for a very long time. If you store them correctly, they won’t spoil for up to a year after this date. Refrigerating or freezing them will extend their shelf life even further. Technically, frozen dried fruits don’t have an expiration date at all, but only if the freezer maintains its temperature. Refreezing dried fruits, on the other hand, ruins their texture and significantly reduces nutritional value. If you choose to buy dried mulberries in bulk and store them in the freezer, remove and thaw only small portions of the fruits that you will cook and use right away. Food To Live Organic Dried Mulberries can keep for months even outside the fridge. A cool pantry is the best place for them in this case, but a cupboard would do as well. The most important thing is to keep them dry, which means storing them in an airtight container or a ziplock bag. An unopened pack of dried mulberries can keep much longer post its ‘best by’ date than an opened one. Usually, these dry fruits remain perfectly edible for over a year in the pantry or two in the fridge. ----------------------- How to Eat Dried Mulberries Dried mulberries taste great exactly as they are, but you can turn them into a really fantastic treat quite easily. Due to the constitution of the fruits and extremely high content of water, the texture of dried mulberries might seem a bit odd at first. You can easily change this by soaking them in water for about 15-20 minutes. This would make the dry fruit perfect for cooking. You should definitely try adding a handful of dried mulberries to your smoothie. They will not only enrich its flavor but also act as a natural sweetener. This can be especially important when making healthy meals for kids who love sugary drinks. Banana smoothies with a bit of nut milk for better consistency taste particularly delicious with dried mulberries. For savory dishes, such as salads and pastas, reconstitute Food To Live Organic Dried Mulberries and add a bit of lime or lemon juice into the water. Dried Mulberries Recipe for a Raw Vegan Treat It’s always good to have a pack of dried mulberries in your cupboard when you are looking for a healthy vegan snack that would taste truly delicious. These raw squares are extremely nutritious and so delicious, your family and friends are sure to be impressed. Their flavor is both sweet and tart and the go well with tea or juice. Ingredients for base: •1 ½ cup dried mulberries •½ cup cashews •¼ cup dried cherries •½ cup coconut oil •2 tablespoons honey •½ cup lucuma powder •1 teaspoon camu camu powder •3 scoops vanilla protein powder •½ teaspoon salt Ingredients for topping: •3 tablespoons coconut oil •3 tablespoons almond butter •2 tablespoons honey •1 teaspoon maca powder •1 tablespoon lecithin powder •¼ teaspoon salt Base Instructions: 1.Process cherries and ½ cup of dried mulberries in a blender. Add cashews and pulse together. 2.Melt coconut oil and pour into the mixture. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix thoroughly. The texture of your ‘dough’ should be easily malleable but a little bit sticky. 3.Press the ‘dough’ into a baking pan and refrigerate for a few hours. Topping Instructions: 1.Put all the ingredients into a blender or a food processor and pulse until they turn into a relatively smooth liquid. 2.Spread the topping over the base evenly before refrigerating your treat.

The mixture of powders in the recipe boosts the nutritional value of the dish, but you should remember that both maca and lecithin have quite distinctive flavors. Taste the mixture before refrigerating it to see if you should add some other spice. You may start with adding less maca in the beginning. You can also include cinnamon, cardamom, and even ground ginger if you like their taste. They all go well with dried mulberries.
