Strawberries are sweet and sour, rich in dietary fiber and vitamins, and are undoubtedly recommended fruits for consumption:
Spring strawberries, no, it should be more accurate to say that overwintering strawberries grown in winter, are known as the "first fruit of spring" because they are grown and marketed on New Year's Eve. It not only satisfies the supply of fresh fruits during the Spring Festival, but also enriches the spring fruit market.

Pineapple has a higher content of soluble solids than other fruits, and is refreshing and juicy, making it a good digestive aid:
Pineapple, as a representative of tropical fruits, is loved for its unique sweet taste and refreshing taste.
There are many types of pineapples, and the pineapples sold in supermarkets should be "foreign" because we are located in the northern hemisphere, which is exactly the opposite of the season in the southern hemisphere. Fruits that seem to be grown out of season are actually seasonal fruits.
Pineapple is not only rich in vitamin C and dietary fiber, soluble sugar, titratable acid, soluble solids, but also contains a special enzyme - bromelain, which helps to promote digestion and relieve stomach discomfort.
However, "bromelain" can also irritate people's oral mucosa, making people feel like "pricking their mouths" when eating, so when eating, you can heat pineapple in moderation to eliminate this discomfort (blistering with salt water does not work).

In spring, when it is easy to catch fire, eating a piece of pineapple can not only quench your thirst, but also help digestion, which is really a double win.
The cherries that enjoy the "first fruit in early spring" and "the first branch of a hundred fruits" are small and exquisite, beautiful and beautiful:
Cherries are also known as "warbler peach" because this fruit likes to be pecked by warblers.
Cherries are small and delicate, with bright colors, and are the best of spring fruits. Feng Yan, a poet in the Southern Tang Dynasty, praised cherries as "a tree of cherries with rain red". Jiang Jie, who enjoyed the reputation of "Cherry Jinshi", said in his "One Cut Plum ~ Then Wujiang": "The streamer is easy to throw people, red cherries, green plantains." Through the "cherry" carrier, I feel that years are fleeting, and life is easy to age. And this "exclamation" of his has become a famous sentence about cherries.
The cherry taste is juicy, sweet and sour, and it has an endless aftertaste. At the same time, cherries are also rich in iron, vitamin C and other nutrients, which have the effects of nourishing blood and beauty, antioxidant and so on. For women, cherries are a natural beauty product. "Famous Doctors" contains: "Cherries are warm, sweet and sour, medium-toned, good for the spleen, and good for color".

Loquat moistens the lungs and relieves cough, which is of great help to the health of the eyes and skin, and is a good spring fruit:
Loquat, the fruit is yellow and clear, sweet and juicy in taste, and it is another good fruit in spring.
