The fruit season has already begun: the shelves of shops and markets offer potential buyers a wide selection. Strawberries are traditionally one of the favorite fruits of Russians. Ripe, sweet, juicy – how to choose, said nutritionist Natalya Lazurenko.
According to the expert, when choosing strawberries, you should pay attention to their color and shape. The nutritionist noted that the strawberries should have a bright red hue, without green, pale, white or black areas. NEWS.ru also writes that there should be no mold on fruits.
Fruits should be large and undamaged. Strawberries should smell fresh. “The consistency of the berries should be soft, elastic, without compressed areas,” added Natalya Lazurenko.
If you buy packaged strawberries, to avoid the presence of dangerous microorganisms, the container must be transparent so that the berries are visible. Otherwise, it could lead to negative consequences for the gastrointestinal tract, the nutritionist added. We took a quiz before: What kind of fruit are you?
