I put sugar on strawberry after few time they becom softened and juicy why ?

Answer 1

Strawberries should be sweet enuff.....lay off the sugar, but do add whipped cream.

We would get the same result if we salted the strawberries. Osmosis is the process by which water moves from a region of low concentration (of sugar) to a region of high concentration (of sugar). This is demonstrated by the fact that the sugar extracts moisture from the strawberry hulls.

In addition, I'd like to mention that Sussex is enjoying a great strawberry season. I recently started grinding black pepper onto fresh strawberries and serving them as dessert, which may seem strange but has a really tasty effect.

Strawberry osmosis is the process by which sugar pulls moisture from the fruit and forms a syrupy liquid around it, which softens and increases the juicy texture of the strawberry.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
