Ready, ready for the road. And today I'm back with Jade. You remember her. Yes, you remember her from the Oregano video. We're back. We're going to explore the facts or myths behind this, the mulberry. Jade, my friend, how are you doing again? I'm great. Good to be here. You are a big fan of mulberry. Yes. You use mulberry heavily in your products and you have some wines and stuff that you use mulberry. Yes, I do. And that is why, guys, that is why, by the way, if you've missed the Oregano video, you need to see it. We did a lovely video with her. She's a big fan of Oregano. She used it a lot and she used the mulberry. So we chose her for the mulberry. First of all, what did you learn about mulberry? Well, I learned about mulberry when I was coming out with the flu and I had an extra neighbor. He just randomly carried a bucket, one of those big pink buckets of mulberry. Really? So I was like, I'm going to see what I'm going to do with this. That's the first time you... The first time was when I got contact with it was my father, actually, but he never had the fruit growing on his tree. And it wasn't really much to talk about back then, like years ago. So the second time was a big pink bucket of mulberry. A pink bucket? Pink bucket full, those big pink buckets. Wow. Yes. That sounds delicious. Yes. So I was eating them. I made juice and then I made wine and I started to research. Hold on, at that time when he brought them, you used them to make wine? Yes. With a bunch. But that was the first time you got introduced to it. Yes, exactly. You got creative right away. I love to learn. When I never... I get excited to learn and see what I can do with it. She's bright. I get excited. Yes, yes, yes. So I make wine with it and I start to feel less sickly, like less mucousy when I have it. So how did you use... So you make the wine, but you use it otherwise, right? I presume you eat... I eat mulberry all the time, yes. No, man, at that time? Yes. Yeah. You had some of it? Yes, I ate the mulberry first and then the fruits, shared some with family and friends. And I also made beverages out of it. Then I started to make wine because I always make... It was my next fruit to make wine out of. But let me ask you, so how did you know? And guys, I'm pressing her now because I'm curious. Did you know at that time that you could make, you could do all of that stuff with it? Or you just started researching? I never knew. I just felt like doing it. So I did it. Yes. Ah, OK. Because I know it has vitamin C. Anything with vitamin C, I like to make wines out of it because it's easier to ferment. So I know that it's just going to get stronger with the benefits. So that was the beginning. Yes. That was the beginning of your mulberry journey. Because that lasts for a month plus tax. Yeah. So I use it to make almost jams, but I made mostly juices. And then I made the rest with wine and shared some with friends and family. Yeah. And what do you know of the benefits? So, yes, the benefits is great for your digestive issues. It's also anti-cancerous. It's also great, filled with many antioxidants. Yes. And it's very anti-diabetic. In fact, that is, yes, in fact, that is, that is what I know you speak humbly about it, but it's a big deal, you know. It is a big deal. Especially the anti-diabetic word. I'm going to make sure I pronounce the word. People, that's, that's, that's what, that's part of the buzz. People are buzzing because it, it supports blood sugar reduction and general heart health. Yes. It's rich in an antioxidant called resveratrol, which is great for your overall well-being. So there is a compound, there's a compound, and this is scientific, scientific stuff we're sharing with you guys now. There's a compound called deoxynodurimcin, D-E-O-X-Y-N-O-J-I-R-I-M-Y-C-I-N. Bear with me if I mispronounce it, but it's on the screen, D-N-J in short, which slows the absorption of sugars in the digestive system. This means it can help prevent blood sugar spikes, making it useful for managing blood sugar levels, especially for people dealing with diabetes. Well, you mentioned it has other health benefits. You mentioned some of those already. Yes. So it's anti-cancerous and it protects you against the ultraviolet UV rays from the sun. Oh. Yes. So it's great for your skin. It strengthens your skin. Yes. That's what is great. And yes, definitely you can eat as much as you want because it's anti-diabetic and it's also a great prevention for diabetes. It helps to lower cholesterol as well. Exactly. So it's not just blood sugar. And brain health. And also the mulberry leaves have so much nutritional values as well in tea form. So you can get all the same benefits for anti-diabetic and respiratory issues. If you have the cold and flu, lung problems, it clears it up. Any form of inflammation as well. So it's so diverse and you can eat the fruits, have the juice, have the tea, many different things you can go around with this lovely herb and plant and fruit. And this is probably the three most popular benefits of this powerhouse here. So it's no myth. Number one is the blood sugar support. First off, it contains the DNJ I mentioned earlier, which helps slow down sugar absorption, making it a great aid for managing blood sugar levels. Two, heart health. Mulberries pack with resveratrol, which is known to support heart health by improving circulation and lowering cholesterol jade. Plus, it helps reduce oxidative stress, which is key to keeping your heart healthy. Lovely. Three, immune boosting. The fruit is loaded with vitamin C, as Jade mentioned, guys, which is a powerhouse for supporting your immune system. Whether you're fighting off a cold, Jade, or just trying to stay healthy, mulberry is your friend. And four, I said three, but I think it's four, right? Antioxidant and anti-aging. People like me, let's not forget the antioxidant, especially resveratrol. That's the antioxidant in here. It helps to combat aging and support overall vitality. So mulberry can even help you looking young and feeling great at the same time. But wait, guys, I have a little bonus I want to share with you. It's about the leaves, as Jade was suggesting. Great, Jade preempted me a little bit, but I'm going to say it. I'm going to share with you now anyway. Here's the scoop. Mulberry leaves are loaded with health benefits as well. You know, in traditional medicine, the leaves, yes, the leaves were used also to manage blood sugar levels and help to reduce cholesterol. And it's also great for weight management because it helps to reduce the absorption of fat in the body, they say. But here is where it gets even cooler, guys. Mulberry leaves contain antioxidants like flavonoids and polyphenols. Which helps reduce oxidative stress and lower inflammation. They are perfect for boosting your immune system and supporting your overall health. So the leaves, Jade, are just as potent, how do we use the leaves? Well, the leaves, you can boil it for five to ten minutes and have a nice cup of tea. It's great to have at nighttime or in the daytime. And it helps with mucus, fighting off the inflammation in the lungs. So it will speed up your recovery for when you have the flu and stuff like that. You don't get sick for longer, even at all, because it's a great prevention. So you can get the improve your brain function as well. Helps you to focus better and also to fight off cancers within and from your skin to the internals. We're going to have a little taste now, guys. Of course, we can't come and have mulberry and don't taste it. Exactly. Yeah, exactly. I like to have them when they have a little bit of red still on them. A red what? Have a little bit of the red color still on the mulberry. Like when I get a dark one, but the red has more of a tart. Oh, you like it with the tart. OK, so I like them. OK, OK. I like it more just when it's full red, dark. Yeah, when it's dark, dark, dark, the flavor kind of goes away. So like as it starts to like five red ones left. So it's really tart, fruity, sweet, not too sweet. Very high dopamine makes you feel nice. Fruity, berries. This young lady, her character, you know. OK, OK, what are some people who don't know it, who have never seen it before? What would you say it tastes like? I know you use some high-pollutants. It tastes almost like a raspberry. Raspberry, OK. But it has more of a, it's more tartier than raspberry, though. OK. So it's more sour when I say tart. So it has a very definitely in the berry flavors and it's light. The flavor goes away from your mouth very quickly. So that's why you want to keep eating more. And you can eat as much as you want. Until you get drunk. It's a gift. Yes. So that's it, guys. The darker the berry, the sweeter the juice. Oh, I know. And yes, more flavor. All right. I'm going to have some myself. Oh, my God. I ate all of them. Oh, I must find a couple, man.
