In the 17th century, the scarlet strawberry arrived in Europe from Virginia. In 1714, the French officer Am\u00e9d\u00e9e-Fran\u00e7ois Fr\u00e9zier brought large-fruited strawberry plants from Chile. Around 1750, the two varieties cross-pollinated accidentally in the gardens of Brittany and Versailles \u2013 the result was large, aromatic, and smelled slightly of pineapple, hence the name. <em>ananassa<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Today there are hundreds of varieties. In Germany, the outdoor strawberry season begins in May and ends in July, depending on the region; in winter, strawberries come from Spain, Morocco, or Egypt, often from water-intensive cultivation in dry regions. Botanically, the strawberry is not a berry: the red flesh is the thickened receptacle, the actual fruits are the small yellow achenes on the surface.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ea-k\" id=\"nutzen\">\n<h2><span>To use<\/span>What the strawberry does for you<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ea-drop\">Strawberries are a <strong>light and nutrient-rich fruit<\/strong>With approximately 32 kcal per 100 g, they provide about 60 mg of vitamin C \u2013 a 200 g bowl covers the daily requirement. They also contain folate, manganese, potassium, fiber, and plenty of polyphenols: anthocyanins (the red color), ellagitannins, and flavonoids.<\/p>\n<p>Small controlled studies found that freeze-dried strawberries lowered LDL cholesterol and inflammatory markers and dampened the post-meal rise in blood sugar in people with metabolic syndrome. Large observational studies link high berry consumption with fewer heart attacks, especially in women.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, these are mostly small studies and correlations, not proof of a healing effect. But as a fruit that tastes sweet, has hardly any calories, and is rich in vitamin C and polyphenols, the strawberry is hard to beat.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ea-zahlen\">\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>approx. 60 mg<\/b><span>Vitamin C per 100g - more than an orange<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>32 kcal<\/b><span>per 100 g<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>approximately 200<\/b><span>Nuts are sitting on a strawberry<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>around 1750<\/b><span>The garden strawberry originated in France.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ea-k\" id=\"inhalt\">\n<h2><span>Ingredients<\/span>This is what&#039;s inside a strawberry<\/h2>\n<p>Strawberries consist of approximately 90 percent water.

Also present are ellagitannins and ellagic acid, flavonols such as quercetin and kaempferol, and fisetin.<\/p>\n<p>The aroma comes from several hundred volatile compounds, including furaneol, which smells like caramel. Strawberries do not ripen further after harvesting\u2014they become softer, but not sweeter.
