Il Gelso Nero in Puglia - Amore Di Puglia

Editorial Staff 18 June 2022

The black mulberry (Morus nigra) belongs to the Moraceae family and, like the white mulberry, was grown in the past to feed silkworms, for this purpose they were periodically brought to stimulate the growth of new branches and therefore new, more tender and healthy leaves to feed the silkworms. In Puglia, mulberry trees have been planted both on private property and along waterways and avenues. Even today, centuries-old specimens survive. It is a very resistant tree, with a beautiful large and shaded crown. Its leaves are dark green heart-shaped and rough on top and hairy on the underside. The flowers are hermaphrodite or unisexual.

The fruits have laxative, purifying and antibacterial properties.

They contain vitamins B, C and K, antioxidants and minerals such as iron, potassium, manganese, phosphorus and magnesium.
