It belongs to the family of Rosaceae, a perennial herb with thin stems that run on the ground and flowers white or pink in inflorescence corium. It grows in cool places. Small berries have emerged from crosses of different species while large fruit comes from indigenous species of America. Strawberries which are not, from a botanical point of view, berries but technically, are aggregate accessory fruits, multiply very very quick. Reports of strawberry are found in Pliny and Apicius, while the first cultivations began in 1300.
The charming strawberry contains sugars, malic, citric, salicylic and gallic acid, essential oil, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulfur, iron, silicon, B, C and K vitamins and omega 3 fatty acids. Strawberry is diuretic, stimulates the immune system and its juice is detoxifying, while is an excellent treatment for acne, black spots and of course exfoliation. It has astringent and antiseptic properties, cleans up the scalp with frequent coatings, and also acts as a natural toothpaste (leave strawberry juice in the mouth for five minutes and rinse with water).
