Organic farming product
Nutritional value
White berries contain vitamins, minerals and protective antioxidants. They have more potassium than a banana (776mg per 100g). A small amount of dried white berries covers almost 10% of the body's daily calcium needs . They are also an excellent source of iron, a rare feature for berries, which is essential for the body's growth and the production of red blood cells.
Benefits-Action of white berries
Several studies have investigated the levels of antioxidant activity found in white berries.
They also contain well-known immune boosters, such as vitamins C and E. White berries are rich in anthocyanins, the colorful phytochemicals responsible for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Anthocyanins are thought to protect the heart , inhibit platelet aggregation and increase nitric oxide, and reduce the risk of hardening of the arteries .
Research trials have demonstrated anthocyanin's ability to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells and tumor formation. It has also been reported to help prevent neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson 's disease.
Another antioxidant found in white berries is resveratrol (present in red wine). Resveratrol, which exhibits similar protective properties to anthocyanin, also activates the reduction of blood glucose and bad cholesterol (LDL). It has been found that mulberry extract may be a potential treatment for obesity and type 2 diabetes. A major study claims that resveratrol reduces fat storage in the liver . It is worth noting that this theory connects modern scientific studies with ancient Chinese medicinal practice in which berries were recommended for cleansing this vital organ.
