Mulberries

1 serving of dried mulberries contains approximately 12 percent of recommended fiber intake. Nowadays many people consume less fiber than the daily recommendation; therefore, consuming dried mulberries as a snack is a good way to increase dietary fiber content. This delicious fruit is an ideal source for both soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber aids in blood glucose management and in reducing harmful cholesterol levels, while insoluble fiber is essential for a healthy digestive system. Dried mulberries are rich in iron and calcium. 1 serving (30 grams) of dried mulberries covers 13% of daily requirement for iron and 10% of daily requirement for calcium. Iron reduces tiredness and helps you feel energetic, while carrying oxygen-rich blood cells all over the body. Calcium is essential for healthy bones and teeth and sufficient calcium intake can help prevent osteoporosis. Dried mulberries support intestinal health.
