Its medicinal value can mainly clear liver fire, eyesight, lower blood pressure, lower blood sugar, and beauty of the efficacy.

Mulberry leaves, new leaves, old leaves, have a very good medicinal value of the ingredients are the same. Such as bubble water to drink the effect is also very good, more bubble more drink, try to soak the ingredients of the medicine. Before soaking mulberry leaves in cool water for a while, soak clean dust before using. Thank you, personal opinion. See you soon.

Mulberry leaves are a treasure, with high medicinal and health value, but do you know the correct way to eat mulberry leaves? Know what season and what kind of mulberry leaves, only with rich nutritional value and medicinal effects? Now on this question, the answer is as follows.

What are the benefits of eating mulberry leaves? Can I eat mulberry leaves raw?

Mulberry leaves are not strange to everyone, in most areas are distributed, in the past, mulberry is mainly used for sericulture, a small portion of medicinal use. But with the popularization of health care knowledge, mulberry leaves are more and more valued for their health care effects. So, what are the health effects of mulberry leaves? What are the benefits to the human body?

The main medicinal effects of mulberry leaves are evacuating wind-heat, clearing the lungs and moisturizing dryness, clearing the liver and brightening the eyes, and is the main drug for treating wind-heat colds, dry lungs, dry coughs and no phlegm, dry throat and thirst, disturbing the liver, and swelling and pain in the red eyes. According to modern pharmacological research, mulberry leaf also has hypoglycemic, anti-inflammatory, enhance immunity, and antibacterial effect.

So, since mulberry leaves have the above therapeutic efficacy and health effects, is it possible to eat mulberry leaves raw? Is raw food better? As far as I know, from ancient times to the present, the mulberry leaves of medicinal service are to enter the soup, pills, powder-based, in addition to the soup, which pills and powder are to the original drug into the drug, since the original drug into the drug, then the mulberry leaves can be eaten raw. However, the original medicine into the medicine are pills and powder, is used by the dried Chinese medicine tablets, and fresh undried fresh mulberry leaves are two different things. Therefore, raw consumption of fresh mulberry leaves should be cautious, and there is no clinical evidence as to whether raw consumption is better than dried ones.

The medicinal and health value of mulberry leaves, is it better to have new or old leaves?

The medicinal mulberry leaves are different from the mulberry leaves for sericulture, why? Because silkworm mulberry leaves are basically many times sprouted new leaves, as we all know, each season silkworms will consume the already grown mulberry leaves, therefore, many times sprouted mulberry leaves, not much medicinal and health care value, it does not matter that there is a difference between the new leaves and the old leaves.

Medicinal mulberry leaves are those that have never been picked and continue to grow from spring to the first frost, that is to say, from the new leaves that have sprouted to the old mulberry leaves that have grown until winter. This kind of mulberry leaf is called frost mulberry leaf or winter mulberry leaf, and it is the mulberry leaf with the most active ingredients. Therefore, whether the mulberry leaves are good for new leaves or old leaves, the main point is the continuity of growth, rather than the mulberry leaf texture of young and old as the standard, this point we must distinguish clearly.

Tui Zhi, mulberry leaves eaten raw what effect on the human body, there is no clinical basis. However, the medicinal use of mulberry leaves after the first frost, which is the authority of the Pharmacopoeia, and has thousands of years of clinical basis, therefore, whether it is medicinal or health care, or winter mulberry leaves are good, as for the food, can be another story.

I am looking forward to comments to add to the above answers, if they are not adequate.

Hello:

First of all, to answer your first question: can mulberry leaves be eaten raw?

Mulberry leaves are included in the list of items that are both food and medicine in the Notice of the Ministry of Health on Further Standardizing the Management of Health Food Raw Materials issued by the Ministry of Health in 2002. Therefore, mulberry leaves can be eaten raw. However, the medicinal mulberry leaves are harvested after the first frost, dried in the sun, and used raw or honey-roasted [1], where raw is not the meaning of raw food.

Therefore, mulberry leaves can be eaten raw, but if you need to have better results it is still recommended to buy mulberry leaves in hospitals or pharmacies and then infuse them, rather than eating them raw.

Secondly, to answer your second question: is it better to have new leaves or old leaves?

Mulberry leaves are harvested at the time of the Frost Festival (generally on October 23rd of the Gregorian calendar each year) and after the first frost (the first frost that occurs from late fall to early winter each year). Therefore, at this time, there are basically old leaves left on the trees and no new leaves growing.

Mulberry leaves are the dried leaves of Morus albaL. in the mulberry family, and fresh watery new leaves are not recommended. Also, mulberry leaves are best when they are yellow-green in color. Only old leaves will be yellow-green; new leaves will not be yellow-green.

Third, finally answer your third question: I heard that the mulberry tree is full of treasures! I wonder how to eat good?

The answer is the same as the first question: it is recommended to buy mulberry leaves in water at a hospital or pharmacy rather than eating them raw.
