Succulent strawberries contain a unique combination of beneficial nutrients. The bright red colour signifies their antioxidant content. Quercetin is one of the antioxidants found in strawberries and inhibits the release of histamine, the culprit for all those awful allergy symptoms like itchy eyes, runny nose and skin rashes. So have a handful of strawberries before heading for the great outdoors if you’re likely to get a sneezing bout when surrounded by pollen and weeds.
