Strawberries

The strawberry (Fragaria ananassa) first emerged in Europe during the 18th century and is a hybrid of two wild strawberry varieties from North America and Chile. These berries are known for their vibrant red color, juicy texture, and sweet flavor. Rich in vitamin C and manganese, strawberries also offer a good amount of folate (vitamin B9) and potassium. Additionally, they are packed with antioxidants and plant compounds, which can promote heart health and aid in blood sugar regulation.
