Can strawberries that have been soaked in water for a long time and sprouted slightly still be eaten?

Patient's question:

I soaked the strawberries in water for too long, some of them sprouted slightly and can be eaten? Will eating them harm the body?

Doctor's answer:

If strawberries are soaked in water for too long, they are definitely not fresh. It's best not to eat fruits that are not fresh. If you eat a small amount of such strawberries, it doesn't necessarily mean they will have any effect on your body. A severe adverse reaction could be diarrhea. If strawberries have sprouted after being soaked for too long, it's generally best not to eat them anymore. Prolonged soaking in water can increase the number of bacteria on strawberries. Strawberries are not very expensive, so you can just buy some fresh ones. When strawberries sprout, their flavor or texture may change, and it is not recommended to eat them.
