Is Taiwan strawberry famous? Understanding strawberry nutrition and benefits in one article

French strawberries originated in the wilds of North America, and commercial cultivation and mass production in France only began in the 18th century! Dutch strawberries originated from France, and strawberries in Japan were imported from the Netherlands during the Edo period. They later became a crop and were officially and widely cultivated starting in 1872 (Meiji 5). Strawberry cultivation in Taiwan began in 1934 (Republic of China year 23), when the Japanese introduced 9 different varieties of strawberries and trial-planted them in the Yangmingshan area of Taipei; however, due to problems adapting to the environment and climate, as well as weaker disease resistance, they never reached an economic scale and ultimately failed to be widely promoted. To this day, most have been converted into tourist farms and have not been exported abroad. Taiwan, as the Kingdom of Fruits, need not feel sad, because strawberries were never originally an Asian fruit.

Strawberry nutrition:

Strawberries are full of vitamin C (an antioxidant) and vitamin A (in precursor form, β-carotene, but without retinol for synthesis), which stimulates the immune system, as well as vitamin B9 (folate), which is very good for girls. They also contain furanone (an aromatic alcohol that gives them their smell and taste). About 90% is water, 35kcal per 100 grams, and about 10% of total calories from carbohydrates, according to the standard table of food composition for protein, with fiber at around 1% in the generally edible portion of strawberries. Strawberries are rich in xylitol, at about 350 mg. In addition, ascorbic acid is abundant as vitamin C.
