Founded by entrepreneur, architect, designer and traveller Tijen Ziyal, Immunflex offers the high nutritional value of white mulberries in different forms, including dried fruit, white mulberry flour, leaf powder, molasses, lozenges, extracts and tea.
During her visit to Kemaliye, Ziyal saw unattended mulberry trees from which large amounts of fruits went to waste because of unregulated and inefficient harvesting methods. "This miraculous fruit should not be wasted, and people should be more aware of its health benefits," she said.
"As a female entrepreneur, I decided to get involved in a social responsibility project to create awareness about nourishment in a system where sweeteners, additives and preservatives are big problems and force past nutritional standards to the backburner. I promise the next generation a community and society that produces, not consumes," she said when talking about the gist of her idea that gave birth to Immunflex.
One year after entering the market, Immunflex now has a broad range of products that can be used as ingredients to make tasty cheesecakes, cookies, salty snacks or molasses to pour on pancakes, as well as tea leaves to brew to boost healthy digestion. One can cook muffins without flour as well as cakes with no sugar with mulberry flour.
Moreover, Ziyal also produced a delicious beverage from mulberries called "Tea of Peace." Combined with a quince, lemon peel, baobab fruit, clove and dandelion, the Tea of Peace maximizes the relaxing effect of mulberry leaves while boosting the immune system.
