A natural yellow pigment or flavonoid compound found in plants like mulberry trees and used historically as a dye and in scientific research.
From Latin 'morus' (mulberry tree), since morin was first extracted from the wood and roots of mulberry species. The chemical suffix '-in' indicates it's a natural compound extracted from plants.
Morin belongs to a huge family of plant pigments called flavonoids that give us everything from the yellow in mulberries to the red in wine to the blue in blueberries—and they're now famous for having antioxidant superpowers in your diet.
