The glycemic index of different varieties of mulberry is different. For white mulberry, it varies between 25–32, and for black it is 24–27.
All parts of the mulberry tree are used in various fields: the leaves are fed to the silkworm, the bark and roots are actively used in folk medicine, various household, decorative products and musical instruments (utars, sazs, rubobs, tanburs) are made from wood. But the most popular product is delicious and juicy mulberry fruits.
Mulberry fruits have long been used in cooking. They are prepared from:
Fresh berries are enjoyed by everyone from young to old. Fresh mulberry is stored for no more than 3 days in the refrigerator. It is also not subject to transportation over long distances. Therefore, the berries are dried and prepared from them jam, syrup, drinks. Dried mulberry perfectly retains its taste. In this form, it is very useful and can replace any sweets.
After heat treatment, the berries do not lose their beneficial properties, so you can prepare jam for the time when fresh berries are not available. Mulberry fruit jam is not only a delicious delicacy, but also a healthy remedy that helps with heart disease, hypertension, and colds. The jam recipe is simple:
The berries are sprinkled with sugar and left for 30-40 minutes so that they release the juice. Then the jam is put on a quiet fire. After boiling, you need to cook for 10 minutes and turn it off. After 8 hours, add citric acid and cook for 5 minutes after boiling. Now it remains to decompose the product into a sterilized container and twist.
It is undesirable to exceed the indicated sugar rate, because the berry itself is very sweet. Since mulberries contain more than 80% water, a lot of syrup is formed during the preparation of jam. To make the jam thicker, the syrup can be separated and prepared separately. For the treatment of colds, sore throats, bronchitis, coughs, a syrup is prepared from berries without adding sugar, by boiling. To enhance the effect, the leaves of this plant are added to the syrup during cooking.
Mulberry syrup is called or mulberry honey. To prepare it, 100 ml of water and 1 kg of sugar are added to 1 kg of berries, boiled for at least 1 hour on fire. After cooling, filter, wring out the press, separating the dry residue. The resulting syrup is simmered over low heat for 6 to 24 hours, periodically removing the foam and stirring. It is better to store doshab in a glass container. It is useful for diseases of the respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract, with a decrease in male potency, depression and chronic fatigue, for women during menopause.
Some agricultural enterprises grow mulberries for wine production. You can also prepare it at home. For this, only ripe fruits are harvested. They add sugar, a little water, lemon juice. After fermentation, the wine is poured into dark wine bottles and corked. Gourmets appreciate it very much for its characteristic taste and useful properties. Fans of stronger drinks will appreciate the mulberry vodka made from sweet fragrant berries.
In the East, the mulberry tree has always been honored and called the tree of life. It was believed that its sweet fruits restore vision, prolong life, fill the body with strength and energy. Modern scientific data on the rich chemical composition confirm ancient knowledge. Mulberry fruits contain malic, citric and other organic acids, essential oils, pectin compounds and flavonoids.
Anthocyanin - a powerful antioxidant found in black mulberries - binds free radicals, prevents the destruction of cell membranes. Resveratrol slows down the aging process of cells, prevents the development of tumors. A valuable vitamin and mineral complex helps the body maintain normal metabolic processes, fight vascular and heart diseases. Mulberry berries are used to prepare effective medicinal products with a wide spectrum of action. They are used as:
Such a drug will be useful for hypertension, diseases of the kidneys, upper respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, with a decrease in hemoglobin in the blood (especially black mulberries), to strengthen the walls of blood vessels. Berries are useful for the elderly, children and pregnant women in any form: fresh, dried, boiled.
The mild laxative effect that overripe fruits have will allow them to be used to prevent constipation. In their immature form, they have a fixing effect. Mulberry juice helps to separate sputum, therefore it is effective as an expectorant for bronchitis and prolonged cough.
Ointments and decoctions are made from the bark of the mulberry tree for the treatment of certain skin diseases, abrasions, abscesses. A decoction of mulberry leaves is used as an effective sugar-lowering, multivitamin and general tonic. A decoction of mulberry bark and leaves effectively relieves inflammation and fever during colds, cleanses the blood of toxins, stimulates hematopoietic function and helps with anemia, removes excess fluid from the body.
In the East, the mulberry tree has always been considered a sacred tree, everything from berries to roots was honored in it. In ancient China, paper was made from its bark. The medicinal properties of this plant are still used in traditional medicine. Bast is used to make cardboard and rope. A yellow dye is obtained from the leaves and bark. In Japan, mulberry is used to make paper for money.
Mulberry wood is highly valued. It is heavy and dense, comparable to beech and oak, easy to process, does not crack or dry out over time, and has a rich texture. That is why musical instruments, amulets, decorative items, dishes, barrels were made from it in Central Asia. Today, exclusive furniture and expensive parquet are produced from mulberry. All products perfectly retain their shape.
Mulberry firewood is generally priceless. When smoked and roasted on mulberry wood, the meat acquires a delicate and sweet taste. But there are practically no such firewood for sale. The leaves are used as feed for the silkworm caterpillar, whose cocoons are used to produce natural silk.
Due to the beauty of dense crowns, mulberry trees are indispensable in landscape design. Dwarf varieties with a spherical crown and decorative weeping mulberry are used for landscaping parks, gardens, and settlements. Trees with a pyramidal crown look beautiful in the form of a hedge and in group ensembles. The resistance of leaves to atmospheric pollution allows planting mulberries in industrial areas. These low neat trees have a very strong root system, so they are planted on slopes to prevent landslides.
Mulberry is useful for people of all ages. The only contraindication is individual intolerance, which is very rare. Mulberry is important for the health of expectant mothers. But you should strictly observe the norm, eat no more than 250 g of ripe high-quality berries per day. At the same time, care must be taken not to create a load on the kidneys, because mulberry has a diuretic effect.
For lactating women, mulberry is also useful. So that the pantry of vitamins does not harm the baby, berries should be introduced into the menu during this period with caution, several pieces a day. If a child develops allergies, colic or bloating, it is better to temporarily stop using it.
There are no strict contraindications for use for diabetics, people with low blood pressure and hypertensive patients. These people are advised to consume juicy berries in moderation, then they have a beneficial effect on the body, lowering blood sugar levels, normalizing blood pressure. Overeating can lead to intestinal upset, diarrhea, and exacerbation of diabetes symptoms. It is undesirable to eat berries on an empty stomach or drink them with water.
Mulberry fruits are harvested in June-August. Immediately after collection, they are sent for processing. If this is not done, then in about a day the yeast fungi living on the surface of the berries will start fermentation processes. For 2-3 days, mulberries can be stored in the refrigerator if the fruits are not too ripe. They cannot be transported fresh.
The technology of drying berries is very laborious. It is no less difficult to preserve the berries without moisture after drying. The packaging must be sealed. In winter, you can enjoy the taste of mulberry in the form of dried berries or jam prepared for the future.
If you are faced with the problem of reduced visual acuity, when the picture becomes more and more cloudy and blurry every week, there is reason to think about whether you have a cataract. What is this disease, and how to recognize it? What treatments are available?
A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye, which is formed both for physiological reasons and due to negative external influences.
In the first case, the development of cataracts is due to the denaturation of the lens protein, which can occur due to:
Diabetes is a common cause of cataracts.
In the second case, its occurrence and development can be affected by:
The main symptom of this disease is a sharp decrease in visual acuity. A person begins to see the world around him, as if through a cloudy glass, or falling water. It is not for nothing that the ancient Greeks called this disease "waterfall" - or kataraktes.
With cataracts, photophobia also occurs, flashing of dots and spots, interference and “flies” occur, it becomes difficult to work with small objects, sew or read. Over time, the cataract begins to grow, from the periphery to the center of the pupil, closing it. Outwardly, a cataract resembles a whitish film covering the pupil partially or completely.
Unfortunately, progressing, this disease can lead to complete blindness. The average period of its development is from 3 to 6 years, in 20% of patients this period is from 10 to 15 years.
A cataract is removed on the recommendation of a doctor, only by surgery, but you can often find reviews about the successful treatment of the disease with folk remedies. In this article, we will talk about how to cure cataract without the use of drugs and surgery.
Cataract as a disease has been known for a long time, and for many decades people have been fighting it with help. Their undoubted advantages are safety of use and high efficiency. Treating cataracts with the juice of vegetables and fruits is much safer than prescribing medications for this disease yourself.
But still, it is worth remembering that it is better to resort to folk remedies as an addition to the main treatment proposed by the doctor. If you doubt that you have this disease, the first thing to do is contact an ophthalmologist for an examination. After the cataract is detected, the doctor will offer to perform an operation to remove it or select a conservative drug treatment, which can be supplemented with folk remedies.
If, for some reason, you cannot see a doctor in the near future, or have an operation, our recipes will help you slow down the course of the disease, or cure it completely.

Medicinal herbs and plants are the most effective in the fight against cataracts, their juices and decoctions have a beneficial effect both on the state of the eyeball and, in general, strengthen and heal the body when taken orally.

One of the best herbs that have proven effective in the treatment of eye diseases is meadowsweet, which is also meadowsweet.

The finished infusion is used as follows: diluted in a ratio of 1: 1, and poured into a clean and dry bottle from under the eye drops. You need to instill 2-3 drops in each eye, 2-3 times a day, for 1-2 months. Try to hit exactly on the pupil, where the cataract has formed and develops.

The resulting infusion is used inside. The course of admission is from 2 to 6 weeks. Keep refrigerated.
You will need marigold flowers, which you can pick and dry yourself, or buy at a pharmacy. The main rule for self-collecting herbs is that all flowers must be healthy, not rotten, with clean leaves. Rinse them after picking and dry on a windowsill in direct sunlight.

This oil is prepared as follows:
You can also make a useful tincture from walnut leaves.
You need walnut leaves (fresh or dried) and rose hips. 150 grams of both.
Drink half a tablespoon 2 times a day, with meals.
Honey is the second most popular remedy for cataracts, which is recommended even by ophthalmologists. Its only disadvantage (as well as the disadvantage of its related product, propolis) is only the often encountered individual intolerance to honey by people prone to allergies.
Honey is not only eaten for general prevention of the body, but also instilled into the eyes.
Take liquid honey (collected in May is considered the best), dilute with water in a ratio of 1 to 1 or 1 to 2, depending on your own feelings. You need to drip 2-3 times a day, from two weeks to 1 month. Gradually increase the concentration of honey in the solution.
You will need an alcohol solution of propolis, sold in a pharmacy. To prepare eye drops, dilute a bottle of solution (25 ml) with clean water in a ratio of 1:1 or 1:2.
Instill the resulting solution, 1-2 drops in each eye, 3-4 times a day. Apply should be a course of 15 to 21 days, then take a break for 10 days.
With cataracts, mummy is used for making. Take the mummy in the form of powder or tablets (tablets must be crushed) and 100 ml. pure distilled water. Mix them together and pour into a clean eye drop bottle. You need to use this remedy 2-3 times a day, 1 drop in each eye, for a course of 20 days.

That is why herbs and fees are popular among our fellow citizens who are tired of taking medications. We encourage you to try one of our recipes.

In the 16th century in Rus', they tried to grow mulberries, but heat-loving seedlings did not survive the harsh winter. Only in the 20th century, Soviet scientists were able to develop winter-hardy varieties of mulberry trees, which turned out to be extremely useful. Various parts of the plant (berries, roots, bark and leaves) are widely used in folk medicine.
Mulberry, depending on the variety, bears fruits of different colors: from white to blue-black, but invariably gives abundant harvests.
Mulberry berries, regardless of color, have many useful properties and a rich vitamin and mineral composition: fructose, glucose, essential oils, organic acids, etc. Nutritional value per 100 g of fruit: 1.44 g of proteins, 0.39 g of carbohydrates, 1 .7 g fiber, 8.1 g mono- and disaccharides. Energy value per 100 g - 43 kcal.
White mulberry also contains resveratrol, which has proven itself in modern medicine as a very powerful antioxidant.
