Strawberries are not only bright and beautiful in appearance, but also in nutritional value. Strawberry is cool in nature and sweet in taste. It has the effects of clearing heat and relieving heat, promoting body fluid and quenching thirst, diuresis and diarrhea, and relieving throat and cough. According to measurements, every 100 grams of strawberry pulp contains 8 to 9 grams of sugar, 0.4 to 0.6 grams of protein, and 50 to 100 mg of vitamin C, which is 7 to 10 times higher than that of apples and grapes. And its malic acid, citric acid, vitamin B1, vitamin B12, and carotene, calcium, phosphorus, and iron content are also 3 to 4 times higher than apples, pears, and grapes. Taiwanese call strawberries a "living vitamin pill", and Germans call strawberries a "magic fruit", which is not unreasonable.
The bright red strawberry jam looks charming and charming. It tastes sweet and sour. It really makes people like it~~~ When making strawberry jam this time, there is no specific weighing of strawberries and sugar, because everyone's taste is different, some people like it. A little bit sour, some people like a little bit sweeter, this can be adjusted according to your own taste. I just tasted the strawberry jam while making it. When it felt sour, I added some rock candy. After tasting it, I didn't want to stop the spoon. It was delicious, hehe! For this reason, I also burned my tongue~~~"

[How to clean strawberries properly]

To wash the strawberries, it is best to rinse them with tap water continuously. The flowing water can prevent the pesticides from infiltrating the fruits. Do not eat the washed strawberries immediately. It is best to soak them in light salt water or rice-washing water for 5 minutes. Light salt water can kill harmful microorganisms remaining on the surface of strawberries; rice wash water is alkaline, which can promote the degradation of acidic pesticides.

When washing strawberries, be careful not to remove the strawberry pedicles. If the pedicled strawberries are soaked in water, the residual pesticides will enter the inside of the fruit with the water, causing more serious pollution. In addition, do not soak strawberries with detergents such as Detergent. These substances are difficult to clean and easily remain in the fruit, causing secondary pollution.
