The strawberries – a healthy fruit with a great taste!
We actually enjoy these red fruits all year round, but they are in season between May and July. In fact, they are not berries at all, but aggregate fruits and the tiny yellow nuts represent the actual fruits.
First and foremost, they are a real vitamin bomb! 90 percent of strawberries consist of water, the remaining 10 percent are healthy ingredients. Did you know that strawberries contain more vitamin C than oranges? So you can cover the average daily requirement of this vitamin with about 200 g of strawberries. In addition, the strawberries are rich in antioxidants, which reduce oxidative stress. The red fruits also contain secondary plant substances.
You can get full quickly with strawberries, but they contain hardly any calories. The minerals, trace elements, and fiber found in them further contribute to the health benefits of the fruit.
According to numerous studies, strawberries are healthy for humans for a variety of reasons. For example, high blood sugar levels and blood pressure should be positively influenced by the regular consumption of strawberries.
