Women who often eat strawberries have health benefits for their skin and hair. Strawberries are known as "magic fruits" in Germany. Strawberries can also help you lose weight because they contain a substance called aspartic acid, which can naturally and gently remove "slag" from the body. According to Chinese medicine, strawberries are sweet, sour and cool in nature. They can moisten the lungs and produce body fluids, strengthen the spleen and stomach, replenish blood and qi, cool blood and detoxify, and have auxiliary therapeutic effects on diseases such as arteriosclerosis, hypertension, coronary heart disease, scurvy, and colon cancer.

There are many ways to eat strawberries. You can eat them directly, top them with cream or fructose, or pair them with ice cream or cheese. In Taiwan, Hong Kong, and other regions, strawberries are often called strawberries (a transliteration of the English name Strawberry). Imported strawberries are better in taste than domestic strawberries and are more uniform in size.

There are two things to note when eating strawberries: First, do not buy deformed strawberries. Normally grown strawberries are heart-shaped in appearance, but some strawberries are bright in color and large in size, with deformed protrusions on the grains, and are hollow in the middle when bitten open. Such deformed berries are often caused by the abuse of hormones during the planting process. Long-term and large-scale consumption of such fruits may harm human health. Pregnant women and children in particular should not eat deformed berries. In addition, since strawberries are low-growing grass-stem plants, although they are cultivated and grown in mulch, they are still easily contaminated by soil and bacteria during the growth process, so you must "clean" the strawberries before eating them.
