Do you always discard the tops of your strawberries? According to Karan Rajan, a doctor and content creator, on TikTok, "the top of the strawberry, with the leaves, has the same nutritional value as the fruit itself".
He also explains that "the leaves are full of polyphenols, which are antioxidants, and the leaves contain almost as much vitamin C as the fruit". Not to mention other nutrients, such as magnesium, and a little more fiber".
