One of my favorites fruits is strawberries. I usually eat them with sugar and with cream and my daughter follows my taste. My son prefers strawberries with no extra. I love to mix strawberries with jelly and scream and make tasty desserts.

Strawberries are a very easy fruit to grow at home and they contain important nutrients that help in the prevention and fight of certain diseases.

Strawberries are rich in fructose, sucrose, vitamin C, sodium, potassium and calcium. They contain basic mineral, citric and malic acid that help in the iron absorption. They also contain salicylic acid that helps to fight cancer.

Among the benefits of strawberries we have:

• Reduction of the risks of getting cancer and heart diseases.
• Tonic
• Fights arterial pressure, bronchitis, rheumatism, anemia, gout, renal stones, diabetes and intestine worms
• Leaves are noninflammatory
• The presence of natural sugar balances the liver, nervous systems as well as endocrine glandes
• They help to lose weight because they are low in calories

Strawberries are not indicated for people with a very sensitive stomach and for those with skin problems.

So, benefits are many why don’t you start growing strawberries at home like I do?
