In Poland, the strawberry season begins in May and lasts until September, with the peak season occurring in June and July, when these fruits are at their most delicious. So we are at the beginning of the season.
We checked the prices of these fruits in Bolesławiec. On Friday, May 17, at the market on Jeleniogórska Street, they could be bought for PLN 16 per kg. At stalls in the city center, they were sold for PLN 20–22 per kg.
Strawberries are not only a delicious but also an exceptionally healthy addition to summer desserts. They are rich in vitamin C, which supports the immune system, and also contain folic acid, potassium and fiber, which are crucial for the proper functioning of the body.
These red fruits have anticancer properties thanks to their ellagic acid content, which is a powerful antioxidant. In addition, regular consumption of strawberries may help improve the condition of the skin and hair and support intestinal peristalsis.
