🔥 Is this the actual Burning Bush of the Bible? 👍
  • 🔥 This is no ordinary bramble - Rubus sanctus, also known as the Burning Bush of the Bible, is steeped in ancient mystery and sacred history. Grown from seeds sourced by Top Tropicals directly from the revered plant at St. Catherine’s Monastery in 2016, this Holy Bramble connects your garden to one of the most powerful symbols of divine revelation.
  • 🔥 Still growing today at the Chapel of the Burning Bush on Mount Sinai, this plant is believed by many to be the very bush through which God spoke to Moses. Its sacred presence inspired the founding of the monastery itself.
  • 🔥 Rubus sanctus is a very long-lived fruiting shrub, bearing symbolic and botanical significance. Its Latin name says it all: Rubus (blackberry/raspberry) and sanctus (holy/sacred). Whether you're drawn to its spiritual roots or its resilient nature, this plant brings a piece of biblical history to life in your garden.

How Mangoes can help with diabetes. A Top Tropicals Garden Blog post.

How Mangoes can help with diabetes

❤️ How Mangoes can help with diabetes
  • A new study shows that eating fresh mangoes may support better blood sugar control. Researchers at the Illinois Institute of Technology found that overweight adults who ate mangoes daily experienced significant reductions in insulin resistance - a key factor in preventing type 2 diabetes.
  • Mangoes also improved beta-cell function, helping the pancreas produce and release insulin more effectively. After just four weeks, participants had noticeably lower insulin levels, with no changes in the control group.
  • While mangoes are naturally sweet and rich in fiber, portion control and balanced carbs are still important. But when enjoyed as part of a healthy diet, mangoes could be a tasty way to support blood sugar balance and metabolic health.
