Navitas Naturals Organic Mulberries: Victoria Beckham's Snack Of Choice

Novato, CA (April 13, 2011) "Eating for beauty" is a hot trend now that people are learning that gaining beauty benefits through the diet can be energizing and delicious. Beautiful celebrities are helping to spread the word by fueling their routine with superfoods. In her cover story in the March 2011 edition of Allure Magazine, Victoria Beckham cites Navitas Naturals Organic Mulberries as her "Snack of Choice."

Mulberries are a nutrient-dense superfood that is a great source of antioxidants. Of special note, mulberries contain a high concentration of resveratrol, an antioxidant compound that is known to combat free-radical damage. Antioxidants are good for a beauty routine whether you gain their benefits by applying antioxidant-rich skin care products, or by digesting them in the form of superfoods like mulberries.

In the Beauty Call section of the feature article, Posh Spice further discusses her "tried and true beauty products," and for the Diet category Beckham says, "You know what else I love? Dried mulberries. They're so good; they give you so much energy." Mulberries are also one of the few fruits to be considered a protein source—boasting a respectable 3 grams of protein per ounce—and they are an excellent source of iron, calcium, vitamin C, and fiber

Mulberry trees originally came over on the Silk Road from China to Turkey thousands of years ago. As one of the precious goods for trade, their leaves served as food for silk worms, and their delicious berries were enjoyed as a treat. Navitas Naturals offers the white Turkish variety of mulberry, which is shaken from the tree and sun-dried to optimize natural sweetness. You can enjoy mulberries straight from the bag, or add them to oatmeal, pancakes, cookies, or smoothies.
