Mulberry leaves

Mulberry leaves are the foliage of the mulberry tree, commonly used as food for silkworms, the insects that produce silk. They are nutrient-rich, containing vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants beneficial for health. In recent years, mulberry leaves have gained popularity as a supplement for managing blood sugar and cholesterol levels, thanks to natural compounds like 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) that can help regulate carbohydrate absorption. Additionally, they are used in teas and extracts for their potential health benefits, making them a valuable natural ingredient in wellness and dietary products.
