Why strawberries should always be washed with soda and what are the benefits Bashny.Net

If you think about any romantic desserts, then the list should definitely be strawberries with cream. Agree, there is something gentle and attractive in having a pleasant evening with your loved one and feeding each other with these berries. The main thing is to initially make sure that then everything does not end much more prosaic and sad.



By the way, this dessert for many years is also considered a symbol of one of the most famous tennis tournaments - Wimbledon. These competitions are held in the UK and are known for their centuries-old traditions. All participants must play exclusively in white. Only small strips or brand icons are allowed.



So, during the first Wimbledon tournament, guests, who were then only about 200 people, were served strawberries with cream. And this treat is still offered to eat fans. Today, tens of thousands of servings of strawberries with cream (about 10 berries) are eaten during the tournament, each of which costs about three pounds.

The season of these beautiful berries is already beginning, so let’s figure out what benefits they can bring to the body. First of all, strawberries are an excellent source of vitamins A and C. They help strengthen our immunity, and therefore protect the body.



In addition, the berry has many antioxidants that help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Eating strawberries also reduces the chance of developing thrombosis and stabilizes blood pressure.



Among other useful qualities of a sweet berry, it is worth recalling the presence of manganese in it, which is responsible for the normal functioning of the nervous system and brain function. Also, strawberries help to detoxify the body and restore the health of the gastrointestinal tract.



As for the reverse side of the coin, remember that strawberries are a strong allergen. Many people have various negative reactions after eating this berry. Always pay attention to your body’s signals. Maybe you should stop eating strawberries.



Another risk may be due to pesticides used during strawberry cultivation. Of course, many sellers want to get this product as soon as possible. Farmers are doing their best to provide this opportunity. As a result, ordinary buyers suffer. So be careful.

How to wash strawberries correctly? Today, few people ask such a question. And very in vain, because before eating berries, it is worth getting rid of not only dirt, but also other harmful substances that may be on it.



One way that may seem strange to some is to use a baking soda solution while washing strawberries. Add one teaspoon of soda to a liter of water. In the resulting solution, perch berries no longer than for a few minutes. Then rinse them with running water.



If it so happens that there is no soda on hand or you do not want to use it, then just soak the strawberries in water. While washing a little rub the berries with your hands, but be careful, because they are very tender. I sincerely want to believe that strawberry season will pass for you without poisoning and other troubles.
