Why does strawberry taste bitter?

Bitter taste appears in the mouth, usually after eating or drinking. It lasts from several seconds to several minutes, and can be associated with the use of certain products or medicines.Sometimes even a berry such as strawberries is not a joy to eat, but a great disappointment, because apart from the bitterness a person does not feel anything else. What are the causes of off-flavor?

If pine nuts were used before the strawberries, then there is nothing surprising in the fact that a person is experiencing bitterness and it seems to him that it is the berry that is caused by everything.

Often the cause of the appearance of unpleasant sensations is associated with poor oral hygiene. In order to exclude or, on the contrary, establish itself for such a reason, it is recommended to do the following:

• change a toothbrush;
• make an appointment with a dentist;
• rinse your mouth 3 times a day with a Listerin rinse;
• Mix one teaspoon of salt with a cup of water and rinse your mouth.

But not always the taste of bitterness appears precisely because a person has health problems. The aroma of most fruits and vegetables depends on weather conditions. As for strawberries, warm sunny weather helps the berries to become fragrant and sweet.

When it is hot, overcast and dry in the street, the berries may have a slightly bitter taste. This is because the plant produces less sugar in the absence of the sun and a sufficient amount of moisture. Moreover, the rot caused by the fungal disease can also give a bitter taste to the plant fruits.

The quality of its berries depends on the soil on which the strawberry grows. It also happens that different varieties behave differently on the same bed. No matter how naive it may sound, but if you want to get a quality crop, you will have to take care of the land before planting.

You can not grow a culture in the same place for several decades, because the soil is depleted. The root system becomes weak and does not provide the necessary substances for the development of fruits. At first you can see how the berries become smaller, then their taste deteriorates altogether. Once every 4-5 years old, seedlings are renewed and planted on a new site in a moderately moist and quite nutritious soil. At the new place should be enough sun.

Summer residents, due to the fact that their plots are not large, are accustomed to save space. Often you can see how strawberry bushes grow at a short distance from each other, and in fact compacted arrangement only harms them. Culture requires more space so that you can get the necessary amount of light for photosynthesis, which is extremely necessary for the fruit. If this is not done, the home-made berry will taste bitter, and the foliage will wither.

According to the rules, between bushes retain at least 30 centimeters, and from the bed to the bed at least 45 centimeters. So more likely that neighboring bushes will remain healthy in the case of diseases of individual plants. This is important because diseases such as mold and decay cause a foreign taste in the berries.

Despite the fact that strawberries love water, excessive watering leads to a negative change in the taste of berries. This applies not only to rainy seasons, but also to the too restless and illiterate zeal of the gardener. You should know that a strong soil moisture and humidity in the area of ​​planting strawberries always leads to the appearance of rot and its other diseases.

If there is a desire to get high-quality and tasty crop of berries, then you need to treat the process of caring for the crop with great responsibility. Only in this case, the question of the occurrence of bitter taste in the fruit will be closed forever.
