Mulberry

ByОлена Коновалова
BLACK MULBERRY
     The fruits of the black mulberry (Morus nigra) exhibit a relatively limited vitamin profile, with the exception of ascorbic acid (52.0% of the Daily Value [DV] per 100 g). However, they are characterized by a notably balanced mineral profile, among which the predominant constituents are: silicon (33.3% DV per 100 g), boron (32.0%), chromium (14.0%), iron (12.7%), potassium (11.2%), cobalt (10.0%), nickel (10.0%), vanadium (8.8%), magnesium (8.3%), and copper (8.0%).
    Black mulberry fruits are distinguished by their concentration of the essential amino acid threonine (12.9% DV) and non-essential amino acids, specifically cystine (7.7%), arginine (5.2%), and alanine (4.3%). The nutritional matrix is rich in the mono- and disaccharide fraction (17.2%), with glucose serving as the primary sugar (53.0% DV). Furthermore, the fruits contain pectic substances (11.0%) and minor quantities of starch (0.03 g per 100 g) and sucrose (ranging from 0.6–0.8 g).
     The total purine base content per 100 g constitutes 6.7% of the daily allowance.
Caloric content per 100 g: 43 kcal
Water in 100 g: 87.70 g
Ash from 100 g: 0.70 g
