Strawberry – Luscious Dessert Fruit

Strawberries are red, heart-shaped fruits. They are eaten fresh and are also used as a filling for pastries, pies, and cakes. Strawberries are a very popular dessert fruit.
Strawberry plants are grown in Americas, Canada, a number of European countries, parts of Africa, New Zealand, Australia, and Japan. It is a low herb plant. The flowers are mostly white and sometimes reddish. At the top of the plant is the crown, which sends out trailing vines that spread over the ground.
Strawberries are rich in vitamin C, iron, and other minerals.
Botanists do not consider strawberries to be true berries. Strawberries are actually groups of small fruits that form from a single flower.

Strawberry is considered a natural aphrodisiac. Zinc, contained in the seeds of strawberries, increases attraction in men and women. That is why the tradition of preparing a sweet strawberry soup with cream for the newlyweds before the first wedding night is still alive in France.

Genetic engineering wonder Blue Strawberry
Undoubtedly, Genetic engineering works wonders! And one of these wonders – rare blue strawberry. Yes, it exists, however not in nature, but in human “kitchen gardens”. And mostly, in particular people grow strawberries for commercial cultivation for the purpose of selling to the population. Genetically modified, this strawberry is unusual, large, and sometimes even gigantic. According to scientists, the blue color is due to the gene of Arctic flounder, which makes the berry resistant to low temperatures.
Meanwhile, people as a rule, looking at food packaging prefer the inscription “Without GMOs …” Because the products grown with the help of genetic engineering are miserably studied. And no scientist will recommend such a product for sure. No one will for sure tell you what the consequences will be for you, and your children, after you eat this strawberry.

Many owners of private plots want to grow on their site something that can surprise the neighbors. Until quite recently, the neighbors could not only surprise, but even scare with purple Bulgarian pepper or a black tomato. However, today, any internet user can simply make order online, – and receive striped pink eggplants, white cucumbers, purple carrots … Seems like boasting of unusual fruits and vegetables is a thing of the past.
In fact, along with blue strawberries, there are other types of genetically modified berries. In particular, white, yellow, green and purple strawberries. However, something tells me that most people still prefer the traditional red strawberries.
