Geneticist, candidate of biological sciences Ekaterina Baranova on the air of the program “About the Most Important” on the channel “Russia” dispelled common myths about strawberries, including the opinion that large strawberries contain a lot of artificial additives. The release is available on the Watch platform. Day.Az with reference to Lenta.ru.
“The size of strawberries depends on the variety,” the biologist said and called it a misconception that large strawberries are less healthy than small ones, and also contain chemical additives. She noted that the size of the berries does not affect how sweet and tasty the strawberries are. “Sometimes large strawberries are also tasty, it depends on how well the breeders have done their job,” the specialist explained.
In addition, the geneticist dispelled the myth that the presence of worms in a berry indicates that it is environmentally friendly. “A butterfly that flies and lays an egg, how does it determine that a raspberry is environmentally friendly? It determines if the berry smells bad or is bitter or damaged,” Baranova explained.
