I make it often – ripe strawberries don’t need anything else.
Strawberries are in season from the end of March and throughout spring, until July in late productions.

With regard to the sugar content in fruit, three groups are distinguished:
strawberries and lemons fall into the first group, oranges fall into the second group.
In case of hyperglycemia, prediabetes and diabetes you need to consider the portion of fruit – in this case strawberries – and the whole meal in which it is included.
By reducing the amount of juice, it is possible to enjoy a fruit salad with lower glycemic impact.
Thoroughly wash the strawberries under running water.
Remove the stem and slice or cut them into pieces.
Place them in a bowl and dress with a few drops of lemon or orange juice.
