How many strawberries and cherries can we eat in a day?

In terms of vitamin C content, strawberries can compete with lemons. 100 grams of strawberries contain as much as 60 milligrams. Vitamin C has a positive effect on the immune system. In addition, strawberries contain other bioactive substances, are rich in folic acid, vitamins E, A, and B, and have a lot of manganese, iron, calcium, and magnesium.

But beware!

Eating too many strawberries can cause allergies, which most commonly manifest as rashes on the face, runny nose, and can cause difficulties with breathing and digestion. Most people do not associate these symptoms with strawberries, but it can be very serious, especially for children. Eating too many strawberries also raises cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. Too many strawberries can also cause weight gain, because they contain a lot of fruit sugar, fructose, and several other types of sugar.
