In Morocco, dietary habits are associated with excessive consumption of red meat and fatty foods, as well as foods that are high in sugar such as bread and cakes, while vegetables and fruits are consumed in insufficient quantities. However, fruits and vegetables are of great nutritional importance, as they are rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants, and help prevent several diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and tumors. Strawberries, known for their sweet and tangy taste, are consumed with a variety of products from different origins in Morocco. This present work consists of the study of the organoleptic, physicochemical characteristics, total phenolic, total flavonoid, Magnesium, Calcium, Chloride, Fluoride, Glucose and sucrose of nine.
