Description: This listing includes one packet (either small 2 g or large 10 g) of Organic, Pure, Freshly Sun Dried Shangri-La Mulberry Leaves. This plant has given us tons of sweet fruit, thrives through the very dry summers here, and grows vigorously producing leaves larger than my head! The leaves are highly nutritious. They’re loaded with powerful plant compounds like polyphenol antioxidants, as well as vitamin C, zinc, calcium, iron, potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium. They’re said to be very palatable and commonly used to make tinctures and herbal teas, which are a common health beverage in Asian countries. Young leaves can be eaten after cooking. You can also take mulberry leaf supplements, which have become increasingly popular for their potential health benefits. Additionally, these leaves are the sole food source of the silkworm — a caterpillar that produces silk — and sometimes used as feed for dairy animals. They have been used to flavor some varieties of “Turkish delights”. The unique aroma is also used in some cosmetic products, especially liquid soaps and luxury bath items.The Shangri-La Mulberry tree produces plump, bountiful berries with irresistible flavor. These beautiful trees creates landscape interest with their giant (!), heart-shaped leaves. Originally from Florida, but they also grow well further north. This mulberry is known as pest and disease resistant as well as drought and heat-tolerant. Typically ripens April through summer and is self-pollinating.
