Fragaria vesca L. (wild strawberry) roots and vegetative parts are commonly used in infusions and decoctions
for different medicinal purposes. The composition in non-nutrients (mainly phenolic compounds)
has previously been reported, but the contribution in nutritional compounds has not been
researched. Therefore, chemical parameters with nutritional role, namely macronutrients, mineral
components, some vitamins (ascorbic acid, folate and tocopherols), as well as, fatty acids, soluble sugars
and organic acids, present in F. vesca roots and vegetative parts were evaluated using commercial and
wild samples. Furthermore, their infusions and decoctions were also fully characterized; as well as the
percentages of vitamins and minerals released for the aqueous preparations. The processing steps, the
collection region and also the physiological state in which the samples were collected could influence the
differences found between commercial and wild samples. The infusion and decoction preparations
showed significantly high released percentages of folate and minerals, and also allowed the detection of
xylose, proving to be more effective for soluble sugars extraction. Roots and vegetative parts of F. vesca,
normally consumed as infusions and decoctions, can be sources of macro and micronutrients
