Strawberries
Strawberries are rich in bioactive compounds due to their high amount of vitamin C, folate and phenolic compounds, which provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
In addition, strawberries are rich in fibre, helping to control blood sugar levels, as they increase the feeling of satiety, reducing calories ingested and favouring weight loss. They are also rich in potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure.
Our Collaboration
iberry works closely with universities and agricultural research entities to enhance the quality of our growers’ strawberry, raspberry, and blackberry varietals. These partnerships focus on developing new and improved berry varieties that meet consumer preferences for flavor, texture, and yield.
Key aspects of our collaborative efforts include:
Research Programs
Sustainable Practices
Field Trials
Consumer Insights
Growing and harvesting
The strawberry belongs to the (large) rose family, just like the raspberry. Strawberry plants propagate through offshoots from the mother plant. These offshoots then form new plants. After propagation, the strawberry plants are planted. Depending on the climate, this is done in the open ground or in containers in the greenhouse.
Our strawberries are always carefully picked by hand. Each fruit goes straight from the plant into its consumer packaging. After the quality selection, the packaged strawberries are placed in transport boxes and immediately sent on their way to Berries Pride.
