Dried strawberries: useful properties of dried strawberries
Strawberry berries are dried and then used for medical purposes. To do this, they are collected either early in the morning, when the dew comes down, or at the end of the day, and then released from the pedicels. Ideally, strawberries are best first poured out in a thin layer and dried in the sun under a canopy and only then dried in an oven or oven at a temperature of 45-50 degrees. Although, of course, you can immediately put strawberries in the oven and dry them there at a temperature of 60-65 degrees. When the berries stop sticking to your hands, you can consider them completely dried.
Dried strawberries have a bright red color, a pleasant aroma and a sweet and sour taste. Most often, an infusion is prepared from them, which is taken 3 times a day for 1/3-1/2 cup: 2 tablespoons of berries are poured with 1 cup of boiling water, kept for 30-40 minutes, after which they are filtered.
Store dried strawberries in tin boxes. The shelf life of berries is 2 years.
