The expert told us why early strawberries are dangerous for health. Nutritionist Oksana Sokolova said that fresh strawberries have already begun to appear on store shelves and in markets, but such strawberries are dangerous for our health.
“There are no regulations governing the number of nitrates in strawberries. In addition, to prevent the berries from spoiling during transportation, carriers cheat and treat them with chemicals.” According to Sokolova, early strawberries often contain nitrates.
“Therefore, people with weak immune systems, and poor health, as well as nursing mothers, the elderly, and children should not eat this product. Nitrates pollute the blood and liver, and we get poisoned,” the nutritionist explains.
And if you really want to try your favorite berry, then at least make it safer. “You should soak strawberries or any other berry for 30 minutes. In the process of soaking food, nitrates partially come out. For this purpose, it is better to use cold filtered water, you can add a little salt because salt takes these harmful substances,” the expert said.
However, the doctor says it is better to wait for the seasonal harvest. Moreover, experts assure you that strawberries will be on sale at the end of May.
