Strawberry
Fragaria sp.
Strawberries are far more than a fresh and fruity treat on a summer’s day, they’re a natural source of valuable antioxidants like vitamin C and phenolic compounds that help to protect the skin and body from free radicals. We Swedes cherish our strawberries, and often enjoy them simply served with milk and a sprinkle of sugar in a bowl of delicious goodness. In beauty, strawberries’ high fruit acids and natural antioxidants content is known to help boost skin’s radiance and brightness.
