Today, a member of the public told the party newspaper hotline that there were rumors in the field that the large unsweetened strawberries were spurred by the swelling agents and were worried that eating such strawberries would be harmful to the human body. According to an interview with relevant experts from the Municipal Bureau of Agriculture, the quality of the strawberries was not a problem. It was a large variety that was related to the variety, climate, and growing environment. The lack of sweetness was due to the degradation of the variety caused by multiple generations of seedlings.

The citizen stated that the bigger the strawberries in the market are, the more expensive it is to sell, but I heard that the strawberry, which is now very big, is enlarged by the swelling agent and may be harmful to the body, especially those that are deformed, hollow, and eating nothing. This morning, the reporter visited some fruit stalls in Shengli Street and found that the main sales were local "Fengxiang" and "Tianbao." A stall owner said, “If you buy it back and eat it yourself, like the chestnut-sized 'Fengxiang' is good, now it’s the best selling.” He pointed to the strawberry, which was as big and slender as the small egg. "This is a 'sweet treasure'. If you give it away, you can buy this kind of big one. It's better to put it in a box."

According to experts from the Municipal Bureau of Agriculture, the strawberries on the Jinan market are mainly local varieties. The “Fengxiang” aroma is relatively rich, accounting for 60% of the market sales; the “red cheeks” are sweet and sour, accounting for 30% of the market sales; and some are "Sweet Pod", containing up to 13.6% sugar, very sweet. Strawberries are low-temperature plants that grow at lower temperatures, but it is normal for them to be deformed due to climatic factors, breeds, and the environment. The bigger head is because the greenhouse insulation technology is doing well now, which allows the strawberry to increase its output.

According to experts, the swelling agent is a kind of hormone pesticide. There is no provision in our city for prohibiting the use of swelling agents. When this kind of medicine is sprayed on the strawberry fruit, there will be residues in the strawberry, and people will enter the body after eating. Although there are no scientific experiments to prove what specific hazards, it is best to eat naturally grown strawberries. “There may be cases where expansin is used in the field, but it is not available in Jinan. Since the strawberries in Jinan are planted in greenhouses, they are pollinated with bees. If pesticides are abused, boxes of bees will be killed, which directly affects the yield of strawberries. It is not worthwhile for growers,” the expert said.

Why do some large strawberries become less and less delicious? The expert explained that this is related to the generations of seedlings used in strawberry cultivation. Strawberry is a vegetatively propagated plant, and seedlings can grow and multiply. In recent years, the seedlings used by strawberry growers have been cultivated by themselves. After several generations of breeding, the nature of their own varieties is difficult to maintain, and the fruit that is produced may not taste. For example, "Fengxiang" is grown by some cultivators and it can be grown to more than a dozen generations. In order to prevent the degradation of strawberry varieties, experts recommend that growers actively use a generation of seedlings.
