Try one, and you'll probably reach for another...and another...Turkish white mulberries have a soft, slightly-chewy texture with a nice “give." They're naturally sweet, with a subtle fig-like taste.

2. Antioxidant Enthusiasts

The bark is often used for wheezing and coughs, while the berries are used to tonify the blood, relieve constipation, treat diabetes and ward off premature grey hair.
