Erdbeeren

Besides the apple, the strawberry is the most popular and sought-after fruit in Germany. Through breeding, numerous varieties have been developed that differ in color, size, shape, and taste. Currently, there are more than 1,000 varieties. Strawberries are not only a taste experience but are also very healthy. They are among the fruits with the highest vitamin C content. Additionally, they contain carotene, vitamins B1 and B2, vitamin K, and folic acids. Strawberries are versatile in the kitchen.
