6 Health Benefits of Mulberriesby Dr. Edward Group DC, NP, DACBN, DCBCN, DABFM1. Source of AntioxidantsAntioxidants help lessen the damage caused by free radicals and the entire mulberry plant- leaves, stems, and fruit, contains antioxidants. [1] [2] One antioxidant in particular, resveratrol, has gotten much attention. Research published by the University of Texas Health Science Center credits resveratrol for positive effects on age and longevity. [3]2. Immune System SupportMulberries contain alkaloids that activate macrophages. Macrophages are white blood cells that stimulate the immune system, putting it on high active alert against health threats. [4]3. Supports Healthy Blood SugarMore formal research is appropriate, but mulberry is thought to contain compounds that support balanced blood sugar levels. [5] Traditional medicine in China, Trinidad and Tobago have all used mulberry leaves to promote balanced blood sugar levels. [6] [7]4. Healthy Food!Dried mulberries are a great source of protein, vitamin C and K, fiber, and iron. Best of all, they’re available in health food stores everywhere! Enjoy them as a great snack all by themselves or add them to your favorite trail mix. If you live in a warm climate and are lucky enough to have mulberry trees nearby, you can enjoy the fruit fresh off the tree. Not as tasty as the fruit, even the leaves contain protein, fiber, and nutrients! [8]5. Resists RednessPractitioners of traditional Chinese medicine have used mulberry as a remedy for swelling and redness. [9] A recent Romanian study discovered that a curcumin and mulberry leaf combination may be a new lead into natural remedies for this sort of irritation. [10]6. Brain Protection?Do mulberries offer anything to the brain? Researchers at Khon Kaen University in Thailand set out to answer that question by evaluating the effect of mulberry on male rats with memory impairment and brain damage. Although further investigation is required before mulberries can be declared a cognitive enhancer and neuroprotectant, rats that consumed mulberries had better memories and less oxidative stress

Good and nice taste. Any type of berry is a good add to your health regimen.

These are so delicious. I have bought this brand frequently and I am not disappointed ever! They are fresh. They smell great. The quality is fantastic!

I love their mulberries. I first got them to add variety to my fruit selection. But, I got hooked because of the nutrition, and taste. It's concentrated sweetness, nutrition, and a bit of tough texture allows me to just have a few, and get going with my day. I am a big eater, so something non-substantial like cookies, donuts, etc., just won't do anything for me. And, apples and bananas are kind of hard to start and finish while you are running around with important documents, and what not.Also, I add 3 to 5 to my smoothie when I want extra sweetness that day. I add wheatgrass, spirulina, and other non-fruity things in there, so sometimes, mulberries are the very thing I need to get that smoothie down with a huge smile. ;)I choose Navitas because I tried a few others before, and Navitas had the best quality consistently. They are not inexpensive, so I choose reliability.If I were to say one thing that I don't like is their new bag... It opens kind of from the front. I like the older version. It was simple and easier to me. But, I can deal.The packaging was great. Arrived on time. :)

I don't know if they should be in the fridge - mine aren't. They have clumped some but blend very well in the blender for smoothies. Mild taste-i hardly know they're there

Sour yet sweet

I actually expected this a bit of sour and sweet, but this tastes just sweet and chewy.Goji berries taste a bit sour and sweet if you want some sourness to balance with the sweetness taste in my opinions.Since this is claimed to be ‘superfood’ I would be happy to add a little on top of my oatmeal with some granola for wholesome goodness in the morning.Pieces look a bit smaller than pictures but again with the price and it’s organic, I am happy with my purchase.***UPDATE*** this is very good on top of oatmeal. Very tasty.

As soon as I opened the bag there was a strong smell of mold/mildew. I thought maybe I was overreacting, but then I tried one, and my son also tried one at the same time, and we both had to spit it out. There was a very strong taste of mold. I have had other brands, and this was not the case. I also enjoy several other Navitas products, so I really hope this was just a fluke.
