Mulberry is the new superfruitThe mulberry has been hailed as the new superfruit with the highest levels of antioxidants of any red berry fruit.
The mulberry, which resembles a raspberry, boasts an impressive nutritional CV outperforming cranberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries.
The mulberry's levels of antioxidants are 79 per cent higher than blueberries and 24 per cent more than those found in cranberries.
It is packed full of vitamins and fibre and contains high levels of resveratrol, the antioxidant super hero which helps to combat heart disease, cancer and helps lower cholesterol.
