🌱 What it is

Mulberry is a tree fruit eaten fresh or dried, while its dried leaves are brewed into a tea used in traditional Chinese herbal practice.

✨ Why it's good for you

  • Leaf tea studied for supporting a healthier blood sugar response after meals
  • Berries provide fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants
  • Traditionally used in Chinese herbal practice for general wellness

🥄 How to use it

Steep 1-2 grams of dried mulberry leaf in hot water for 5-10 minutes and drink up to twice daily, or enjoy fresh or dried berries as a snack.

How much: 1 cup of mulberry leaf teaA warm drink made by steeping herbs in hot water. How to make a tea → (1-2 g dried leaf) up to twice daily, or a small handful of fresh berries as a snack.

Why it works: Compounds in mulberry leaf are studied for how they may slow sugar absorption in the gut, though effects vary from person to person.

⚠️ Cautions

  • Mulberry leaf may lower blood sugar; combined with diabetes medication or insulin it can raise the risk of hypoglycemia — monitor levels and consult a doctor before regular use.
  • Not a substitute for prescribed diabetes management — persistent high or low blood sugar needs medical care.
  • Limited safety data for concentrated mulberry leaf extract in pregnancy or breastfeeding; ordinary amounts of the ripe fruit are generally fine, but check with a doctor about leaf tea or supplements.
  • Unripe fruit and other plant parts have been linked to mild stomach upset in some traditional accounts.
