THE SWEET RED STRAWBERRY

STRAWBERRIES HAVE LITTLE SUGAR AND FEW CALORIES

Did you know? Strawberries are made up of 90 percent water, which is why they have very few calories. Specifically, 100 grams of strawberries contain about 30 kilocalories. And even though they are usually sweet when fully ripe, strawberries contain only about six grams of sugar per 100 grams. So, you can enjoy strawberries without any guilt.

This is also because strawberries are rich in vitamins. Their vitamin C content is higher than that of lemons and oranges. Additionally, they are high in folic acid, which is important for pregnant women. Strawberries are not only delicious but also incredibly good for you! For those who prefer even less sugar, we recommend "Der Kleine Bauer Strawberry Less Sugar."

STRAWBERRIES FROM THE OUTSIDE

STRAWBERRIES PERFORM TRUE WONDERS

Have you noticed the small light seeds on the surface of a strawberry? Of course, they are hard to miss. These are the seeds, and a single fruit can contain up to 200 of them. Strawberries can also work wonders on our skin. Thanks to the antioxidants they contain, they are great for your complexion. The salicylic acid in strawberries helps tighten pores and clear the skin of dead cells.

Strawberries are also recommended for those looking to reduce signs of aging on their skin—or better yet, apply them directly to the skin. A mask made of strawberry slices is said to help with this. And one last recommendation: try strawberries in one of our vegan yogurt alternatives from GrünKraft. They are completely plant-based.

THE STRAWBERRY

A HIT SINCE THE STONE AGE

First, an interesting fact: the strawberry is actually a rose. In fact, the strawberry belongs to a genus in the subfamily called Rosoideae. Another interesting fact: strawberries have played a role in human nutrition since the Stone Age. For example, European wild strawberries were already being widely cultivated during the Middle Ages. Around the 17th and 18th centuries, the larger American varieties, the Scarlet and Chilean strawberries, were introduced to Europe. From this crossbreeding, the original form of the garden strawberry emerged around 1750 in Brittany, from which most of today's cultivated varieties descend. By the way, from a botanical perspective, the pseudo-fruit of a strawberry is not classified as a berry but as an aggregate fruit.
