Most of the strawberries that can now be bought in supermarkets come from Spain, predominantly from the region around Huelva in the southwest of the country. Strawberries are grown with high water consumption, intensive use of fertilizer, and sometimes on illegal land in Spain.
The sweet fruits are transported to us by plane and therefore have a very high overall CO2 footprint. Although strawberries are one of the healthiest types of fruit, you should avoid them in April. HEIDELBERG24 explains why you should stay away from these fruits. You can find out here which oat flakes are the Healthiest in a list of healthy eating tips by clicking here.
