It's strawberry season, the little strawberry stalls are everywhere and you can't pass up these beautiful red, delicious fruits in the supermarkets either. So we did some research to find out everything you can learn about strawberries! Have fun :-)


  1. Did you know that the strawberry belongs to the rose family and is a false fruit? It is not actually a berry but belongs to the aggregate fruit - that is, the small, crunchy "nuts".

  2. The vitamin C content of this classic fruit is 59 mg per 100 g (oranges 50 mg). With 200 g of strawberries you have covered the recommended daily requirement of vitamin C. How about a good portion of strawberries instead of a vitamin C tablet.

  3. The dried leaves (without the stems) of the strawberry can be made into a tea . This tea helps with an irritated stomach and is said to help with motion sickness.

  4. Sunburn can be soothed with strawberry fruit, as it contains tannins that are beneficial for the skin! Crush the fruit and rub it into the affected area.

  5. Do you have a sore throat and need to cool your throat? Then try a frozen strawberry.

  6. The trace element boron is needed to regulate blood sugar levels . In addition to prunes, fresh peaches and tomatoes, this necessary trace element can also be found in fresh strawberries .


In addition to the classic Recipes like strawberries with cream or ice cream, we have put together a few healthy alternatives for you :

  • On our blog: Strawberry jelly instead of jam

  • Strawberry leaf tea - 2 teaspoons of dried strawberry leaves, let it brew for 20 minutes

  • natural yogurt with muesli and strawberries

  • Asparagus-strawberry salad (lamb's lettuce, asparagus (glazed with olive oil & honey in the pan), strawberries, walnuts, balsamic vinegar and olive oil)

  • On our blog: fruit ice cream


What will you try first?

Have a wonderful summer time and enjoy the fruits of the season
