Finally, we have waited for the first vitamins, young vegetables, herbs and fruits appear on the markets. We all really want to replenish our vitamin reserves, especially when it comes to berries – after all, the strawberry season has begun! How to choose this berry so that it really benefits, and does not harm?
1. Berries of good strawberries – whole, without damage or dents, must be dry, without a puddle of liquid at the bottom of the container.
2. The smell should be strawberry and fragrant, without any foreign sour smell or fermentation smell. It also happens that the strawberries seem to be odorless. A good strawberry has a sweet and light strawberry flavor.
3. The color of ripe strawberries should be even – from red to dark red, it all depends on the variety. The berry should be firm and shiny, there should be no putrefactive spots, and the stem of a fresh berry should be bright green.
4. Do not hesitate to ask the berry to taste, because this is the only way you will determine whether it will be to your taste.
5. Strawberries are perishable, so buy them in small portions. And if you have not mastered to eat everything that you bought, store the berries in the refrigerator for no more than 2 days and do not wash the strawberries, otherwise it will flow and ferment quickly.
Recall that earlier we talked about how useful strawberries are for the human body, and also advised how you can lose weight with its help.
