The mulberry tree (Morus spp., family Moraceae) is grown not only for its leaves as food for silkworms but also provides many health benefits because its fruits and leaves contain numerous bioactive compounds. Mulberry fruits are rich in anthocyanins and polyphenols, powerful antioxidants that help protect the body from free-radical damage and support the treatment of diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, and anemia. Traditional herbal medicine uses mulberry fruits as an anthelmintic, blood-sugar-lowering, and laxative remedy.
