Ook bekend als: Witte moerbei; Witte moerbezie

Morus alba, als er een boom in de geschiedenis van de mensheid is waarover koningen en spionnen zich druk hebben gemaakt, dan kan het haast niet anders dan dat dit Morus alba betreft. Deze plant heeft een buitengewone lange en interessante geschiedenis.

Weinig kritische gast

Witte moerbei zelf maakt dat allemaal geen ene moer uit. Hij leeft in het nu en gedijt op alle grondsoorten (zand, leem en klei), kan temperaturen tot minus 20 graden Celsius verdragen en staat het liefst op een zonnige of halfschaduw plek in de tuin. Als er iets wit is aan deze plant dan zijn het de bloemen die rond mei verschijnen, want de vruchten hebben al rijpende normaal gesproken een meer rode tot zwarte kleur. Al zijn er ook selecties die witte vruchten dragen. Het fruit is een stuk minder zoet dan dat van de zwarte moerbei (Morus nigra), maar vrucht is niet de reden dat deze plant al duizenden jaren geteeld wordt.

Roemruchte geschiedenis

Morus alba is namelijk de enige plant (boom) waar zijdevlinders zich op voortplanten. Zo’n 2600 jaar v.C. zien we in de westerse wereld de eerste meldingen over zijde in China. Daar had men goed in de peiling hoe waardevol deze schitterende en sterke draad was en welke prachtige gewaden er mee te maken zijn. De uitvoer van Morus alba vanuit China was ten strengste verboden want men wilde deze kennis graag voor zichzelf reserveren. Uiteraard liep dat volkomen mis. Rond het jaar 300 werd het naar Japan gesmokkeld. Daarna zagen twee spionnen naar verluidt kans om eitjes en zaden in holle bamboestokken te verbergen en deze naar Constantinopel (het huidge Istanbul) te smokkelen. Van daar verspreidde de zijdeproductie zich naar Griekenland en Italië.

Foutje, bedankt

Dat de zijderups echt alleen maar op witte moerbei gedijt, leerde Jacobus I van Engeland in 1605 op zure wijze toen hij in dat jaar een zijdefabriek in Engeland op probeerde te zetten met een partij moerbeibomen. Maar er gebeurde niets. Hij had per abuis (of uit onwetendheid) zwarte moerbei gekocht. De ene moerbei is dus duidelijk de andere niet. Niet dat het veel had uitgemaakt want de zijderups gedijt niet in ons West-Europese klimaat.

Veelzijdig

Morus alba kan tot 16 meter hoogte groeien maar laat zich ook uitstekend als dak- of leiboom inzetten. De boom heeft een mooi breed uitgaand karakter, waaronder je op een hete zomerdag lekker met een drankje kan vertoeven. De vlekken die het fruit maakt zijn echter uiterst lastig te verwijderen dus als je hem gaat leiden, voer hem dan niet over stenen oppervlakken die je liever niet bezoedelt. Neem dan bijvoorbeeld de nagenoeg vruchtloze selectie: Morus alba ‘Fruitless’ of de grootbladige en weinig vrucht-producerende Morus alba ‘Macrophylla’. Gebruik de gewone alba dan als afzetting van een perceel of verheug je over de vele vlekken op de oprit omdat je ze ziet als een bewijs van de overvloedigheid van Moeder Aarde.

Als je van goede verhalen en geschiedenis houdt, plant je Morus alba. Ga je voor het fruit dan plant je beter zijn zwarte neef. In dat geval kun je de historie van de witte moerbei uiteraard ook uitbundig uit de doeken doen. Toch is het mooier als je naast die grote zwarte dan ook naar die witte kunt wijzen en de verschillen tussen het fruit zelf kunt proeven. Redenen te over om Morus alba te planten. Doen dus!

Most cost effective product
Size: 1.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I have an issue with my mouth going dry due to CPAP use. This spray is better priced than other sprays but, not quite as refreshing. Due to the cost savings, I will continue to order this product.

Awful taste
Size: 1.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
It tastes terrible, and after trying to get used to it, it didn't work. I have used it three times a day and I still have no benefit from it. It feels very dry at night and aggravated my dry mouth when I woke up. I also purchased the toothpaste and the mouthwash to go with it and it was a total waste of money.

Must Read Book To Improve Health and Aging
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Jessie Inchauspe is brilliant. This book is full of very useful and effective information building on her 10 Hacks found on her YouTube videos. As a biochemist and medical researcher, she is considerably more knowledgeable than many physicians I've met about nutrition and its impact on health. I have been struggling with borderline diabetes/pre-diabetes for years. Doctors wanted to put me on Metformin which I refused as I’m improving and reversing this condition through diet, exercise, and natural supplements. This is a very interesting easy to read book that fully explains how important it is to balance and flatten glucose spikes and improve insulin sensitivity. Many people know ”What” to eat and what foods to avoid, intermittent fasting addresses “When” to eat. This book discusses “How" to eat in a particular order to noticeably benefit health. She explains glucose spikes and insulin resistance and its relationship impacting health, chronic illnesses and aging. She states that chronic diseases including heart, cancer, obesity, diabetes, dementia, PCOS, and others are from inflammation stemming from uncontrolled glucose spikes. Feeding children in this particular order can also improve their health- childhood diabetes is a major concern. Inchauspe cites a 2015 Cornell Study which found that people who ate food in this order (described below) reduced glucose spikes by 73% and insulin spikes by 48% within 2 hours, along with a significant reduction in their A1C levels. This is huge! My own blood testing and eating a variety of foods in this order, including various desserts, shows an impressive further reduction in my 2 hour postprandial blood glucose readings which are typically in the 90's or very low hundreds. The 10 Hacks found in her YouTube videos are greatly expanded upon in this book to make these hacks even more effective in normalizing glucose and improving blood testing and A1C scores, while helping to lose weight by eating foods in a certain order: First- salads and/or veggies. Second- protein and good fats. Third and last- carbohydrates & starches. Yes, you can eat whatever you want, and however much you want (no counting calories) and even have dessert as part of the meal while minimizing glucose spikes and fat storage, improving insulin sensitivity and overall health. If you need to lose weight or have blood glucose challenges, skip dessert and reduce or eliminate bad carbs and limit good carbs. Eating in this order becomes a lifestyle and easy to implement daily. I find eating this way that I’m already pretty full by the time I get to the carb and dessert stage which helps maintain my weight. Other hacks include drinking a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in water or in a dressing, not eating naked carbs (take carbs with a good fat or protein), and walking after a meal or doing slow calf raising exercises while seated at the table. I have been doing intermittent fasting for over 6 years and it has been a major driver in my own improvement in reducing A1C scores. I get my blood tested every 4 months. I vary fasting between OMAD ( 1 meal a day), 20:4, 22:2, 19:5, 18:6, and 16:8 depending on schedule eating no more than 2 meals a day and no snacking. Fasting reduces inflammation which is a main driver of diabetes. I’m doing a modified keto diet mainly with healthy whole food items. Combining fasting wth eating food in the proper order is effective in reducing glucose and easy to implement. Doing calf raises while seated which target the Soleus muscle in the calves is very powerful. The Soleus muscle is the only muscle in the body which absorbs glucose from the bloodstream. I try to do calf raises while sitting at the dining table at the end of a meal for at least 10 minutes. This can reduce glucose spikes by 52 percent and insulin by 60 percent. Google the ‘Soleus muscle glucose metabolism’ for more info. I also do a few simple Tai Chi exercises I found on YouTube. I have also been taking Dihydro Berberine which is more effective than regular Berberine. I use Heal Meal brand. My functional health MD upped dosage to 5 a day- 3 at first meal, 2 at my second and last meal- which has reduced my glucose spikes in a major way versus 4 daily. Take 20 minutes before eating. Highly recommended! Update September 2024- I recently got a Dexcom G7 continuous glucose monitor (CGM) which has been very educational in seeing how good quality sleep and walking after meals helps to further lower glucose levels, versus poor sleep and no walking after eating. Drinking a 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water before a meal, especially a high carb meal, is very powerful in reducing glucose spikes. I used to get up at 3am to go on the computer every morning. Forcing myself to break this habit and stay in bed has seen a further lowering of blood glucose after several days. A good night’s sleep and exercise after eating are as essential as diet. This is clearly shown on the CGM which reports glucose changes every 5 minutes. Seeing how various foods impact glucose is a valuable learning tool. I had to pay for this out of pocket and it has been a worthwhile investment. When installing a new monitor every 10 days I find it necessary to recalibrate the Dexcom readings with a fingertip blood test, as the initial readings were too high, typically anywhere from 10-35 points higher than the blood test. Simply click on the plus sign and follow directions to recalibrate.
