Bible nutrition educator Mike Adams discussed black mulberries as God’s nutritional powerhouse during his 45th sermon on the “Health Ranger Report,” part of his 100 Sermons series.

While the mulberry tree is mentioned in both the Old and New Testaments, those mentions do not pertain to health, nutrition or anointing. One such mention can be found in the Gospel of St. Luke: “[Jesus] replied: ‘If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.'” (Luke 17:6)

According to the Health Ranger, the verse’s message centered on a person who has faith being able to do the impossible. He then turned to the mulberry tree, noting that it grows very fast. While some species produce fruit in the first year, the majority of trees in the Morus family (where mulberries belong) usually produce fruit in the second year and beyond.

Adams continued that wealth grows on trees, and that mulberries are wealth since the tree produces not only food but medicine. Black mulberry is high in nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin B2 and vitamin B6 and elements like iron, copper, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and sodium. It is also rich in antioxidants like flavonoids and anthocyanins.

A study published July 2021 in the Saudi Journal of Biological Sciences cited by the Health Ranger expounded on the nutritional constituents of mulberry. “Mulberries or its extracts exhibit excellent antimicrobial, antihyperglycemic, antihyperlipidemic, anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects, and is used to combat different acute and chronic diseases,” the paper stated. (Related: Mulberry: The ancient “tree of life” loaded with health-promoting and therapeutic properties.)

The study continued that different parts of the Morus species “like fruits, leaves, twigs and bark exhibit strong antityrosinase inhibition activity that makes it a suitable candidate in cosmetic industries as a whitening agent.” It also mentioned the use of the mulberry fruit as a natural medicine to strengthen the joints, lower blood pressure, treat fever, protect against liver damage, and assist in urine discharge.

Anthocyanins in mulberries are protective molecules for the human body

“One of the most notable types of medicine that mulberries contain is in the category of anthocyanins, which have incredible protective properties in the human body,” said the Brighteon.com and Natural News founder. “The anthocyanins are responsible for the dark pigment molecules that infuse the mulberry itself.”

The mulberry fruit is a concentrated source of anthocyanins, in particular the compounds cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G) and cyanidin-2-rutinoside (C3R). These two plant compounds can be used in the food industry as natural colorants and food preservatives. But Adams continued that both C3G and C3R can be used to treat skin disorders resulting from hyperpigmentation.

Aside from anthocyanins, mulberries contain important alkaloids that stimulate the immune system and safeguard the human body against pathogens. These alkaloids in mulberries activate macrophages, white blood cells that engulf and digest disease-causing cells. Mulberries also contain oleic acid, palmitic acid and linolenic acid.

Citing the book “Herbs of the Bible” by Dr. James A. Duke, Adams said the mulberry tree’s root and bark are used as laxatives. The mulberry root is also used to treat painful menstruation, while the mulberry leaves are used to treat conjunctivitis.

The nutritious, anthocyanin-rich mulberry fruit is used to quench thirst, reduce fever and cool the blood. Black mulberry juice boiled in honey serves as an ointment to treat throat tumors.
