CURIOSITY
Although strawberries are considered fruits from the nutritional point of view , they are not from the botanical point of view : the real fruits are the so-called dark yellow achenes that is the seeds that are seen on the surface of the strawberry . The vitamin C content of strawberries (five strawberries contain an amount of vitamin C equal to that of an orange ) promotes the absorption of iron . In addition, these fruits contain xylitol , a sweet substance that prevents the formation of dental plaque .
