Three Reasons to Eat Raw Mulberries

(NaturalNews) If you`ve ever met a mulberry, you`ll surely have remembered the encounter. They`re tasty, juicy little things which are the fruit of the various types of mulberry tree, and are available either fresh or, more commonly, dried. They can be used to make-up delicious raw granola, and various other recipes. As with all berries, they offer great health benefits and, as with all berries, they have their own unique make-up. So, here are three reasons why you should eat raw mulberries.

Mulberries have a delicious taste and texture. The taste is subtle and sweet. The texture in the fresh fruit is juicy, and the dried fruit has a satisfying crunch from the seeds. You can mix fresh mulberries with other fruits, add them to smoothies, put them in salads, or just eat them as they are. The dried fruits are even more versatile and because they`re portable, they make an excellent snack on the go. Just make sure that they aren`t dried at very high temperatures, so that all their enzymes and nutrients remain intact. Dried mulberries can be used to make a type of raw granola, for those on a raw food diet. You can simply mix dried buckwheat sprouts with the dried mulberries, some fresh fruit, and serve it with raw nut milk.

Mulberries are rich in anthocyanins (ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulberry), which are the chemicals that give berries their colors. The same chemicals act as powerful antioxidants when consumed. Anthocyanins are thought to be able to increase the quality of our eyesight, fight cancer, slow down the aging process, fight or control diabetes, and generally strengthen the body against disease. The main antioxidant in mulberries is Resveratrol, which is thought to increase endurance, fight neurodegenerative diseases and prevent cancer. Tests have also indicated that Resveratrol may counteract the ill effects of a high fat diet (ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resveratrol).

They also have plenty of other nutrients, including quite a large percentage of protein. In this way, a snack of just a handful of mulberries provides you with a well rounded bundle of various vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates and protein. The berries are also a very good source of Vitamin C and iron (ref: http://www.therawfoodworld.com/product_info.php?cPath=100150_100148_1...), which makes them especially good snacks for anyone who feels slightly rundown. Mulberries also have a high amount of potassium, magnesium, and Vitamin K. All in all, with their nice taste and texture, and the ease with which you can carry around the dried version, mulberries make perfect snacks.

The Mulberry Tree Growth Rate

The mulberry tree family contains several species of trees and cultivars, all of which are known for their fast growth rate. Few problems affect the trees and even those that do rarely slow the tree's growth

Conditions

• Mulberry trees grow the fastest when they are planted in full sun, but they can tolerate partial shade. The trees also prefer moist or dry soil that drains well. They can only tolerate wet soils for short lengths of time.

Diseases and Pests

• Few diseases or pests bother mulberry trees enough to slow their growth rate. Popcorn disease can cause the fruits to swell up, but it does not bother the tree itself. Gathering and burning the swollen fruits helps control the problem.
• Pruning

• Young mulberry trees benefit from pruning that helps them developed a strong, structured framework. Once the tree gets established, it requires little pruning except for dead limbs. Pruning should be done when the tree is dormant and not growing.

Watering

• Mulberry trees are considered to be somewhat drought-resistant. But if their roots dry out during times of drought, the tree may drop its fruit before it ripens. To keep the tree's rapid growth rate going steady, the tree benefits from watering when dry conditions prevail.

How to Make Black Mulberry Trees Produce More Fruit

A mulberry tree produces an aggregate fruit similar in appearance to blackberries. However, unlike blackberries, mulberries are a delicate fruit that will not survive rough handling. Because of this, mulberries are not widely sold in stores and fruit stands. If you have a mulberry fruit tree, you can grow your own seasonal fruit for jelly, jam or pies. Proper care of your tree will increase the fruit yield that it produces yearly.

Step 1
Select both male and female mulberry trees from a tree nursery that specializes in mulberry trees for your landscape. Fruit is only produced on female mulberry trees, while male trees produce pollen. A good variety of both trees will ensure that the flowers of the female trees are pollinated and produce abundant fruit. A tree nursery employee can help you select the correct gender of tree.

Step 2
Plant your trees in loamy, well-drained soil. Mulberries perform best when roots are kept moist but not wet.

Step 3
Avoid pruning as much as possible to encourage blossoming. Pruning reduces the amount of fruit that grows on the current season's growth. If you must prune, then only remove dead wood or branches that rub and are less than 2 inches in diameter. Prune trees in late fall when the trees are dormant and do not drip sap.

Step 4
Fertilize your mulberry trees with a fertilizer that is rich in potassium such as 5-8-5. Potassium-rich fertilizers help to increase blossoms in plants, which leads to more fruit production.

Step 5
Harvest your berries as they become ripe to prevent birds, squirrels and other wild animals from taking them. To harvest berries, spread a clean tarp on the ground and shake tree. Ripe berries will fall from the branches and onto your tarp.

As mentioned above, this vitamins has been widely claimed as a natural preventive for cancer. However, it should be noted that there are no medical reports to support the claim. There is hardly any evidence to prove the claim that this vitamin effectively helps in prevention of cancer. Laetrile, in the form of supplement, is not used in several parts of the United States as it is unlawful. There is a higher risk of toxicity caused due to intake of this supplement.

Apart from its claimed use in treatment or natural prevention of cancer, there are several other health benefits associated with this vitamin. It is believed to help in lowering high blood pressure or hypertension. Secondly, it is also believed to have a positive effect on the immune system. Vitamin B17 helps in strengthening the immune system. On the other hand, it is also beneficial in improving one's overall health and maintaining it. However, it is not recommended or used on a large-scale because of the potential toxicity associated with it. The metabolism of amygdalin in the human body produces hydrogen cyanide; which is a fatal product. Therefore, one should remember that oral administration of Laetrile can be lethal and hence, it should be avoided. Use of Laetrile orally, in the form of medication or supplements is banned and should be avoided under any conditions. The only way to have vitamin B17 is through the natural sources. As there are numerous sources of this vitamin, it can be easily obtained and consumed naturally.

Although, there are natural sources of vitamin B17, they should not be consumed in excess. It is wise to consult the doctor before consuming any foods for the purpose of gaining vitamin B17.
