Many people find it difficult to wash strawberries, mainly because their appearance is rough, and their skin is very thin, and they break as soon as they are washed. Therefore, in order to save trouble, many people eat strawberries simply by washing with water. In fact, strawberries belong to herbaceous plants. Strawberries are relatively low and have more contact with the ground, and their fruits are tender and juicy, which make it vulnerable to diseases, insect pests and microorganisms.
