More than 100 tons of strawberries were sold in June at weekend fairs in Moscow

Since the end of May, over 100 tons of strawberries have been sold at weekend fairs in Moscow. This was announced on Sunday, June 29, according to the website of the mayor of the capital.

The berries come from various regions of Russia, which makes it possible to provide a wide range throughout the summer. The first strawberries of the new harvest arrived from the Crimea and Krasnodar Territory. The Tambov, Lipetsk, Tula, Voronezh and other regions have now joined the supply chain. Thanks to this, Muscovites can enjoy fresh berries all summer long. In total, products from more than 40 regions of the country are presented at Moscow fairs, writes RIAMO.

At the beginning of the season, the popular varieties "alba", "clery", "Queen Elizabeth" were on sale, and now "pineapple" and "Alice" are also available. The products arrive on the shelves in a fresh and high-quality form.

Earlier in June, nutritionist Margarita Koroleva, PhD, said that people with allergies to birch pollen should stop eating strawberries. According to the nutritionist, allergies can manifest themselves through skin reactions, although the berry itself, if it is natural and well washed, is not capable of provoking acute diseases.

On May 20, nutritionist Elena Solomatina warned against buying strawberries at the ruins along the trails. Private sellers often lack certificates and laboratory test results. It is safer to buy products at markets and in stores where you can request the relevant documents. Pravda.Ru .

Also in May, nutritionist Margarita Arzumanyan said that buying strawberries should be abandoned if its fruits are wet or, conversely, dry, have signs of rotting, mold, and are unevenly colored, for example, with greenish spots or a white tip. Life.ru .
