Sunlight on... Strawberries!

Pin It

The peak season for strawberries runs April-July. The first garden strawberry (as opposed to wild) was grown in the late 18th century. Today in the U.S., strawberries are the most commonly consumed berry.

Nutrition
Strawberries are exceptionally rich in antioxidants and a wonderful source of vitamin C and manganese. Health benefits are numerous, including cardiovascular, blood sugar, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory.

Simple Ways to Enjoy
Enjoy strawberries in fruit salad, smoothies, on mixed green salads, in parfaits, and a very common occurrence in our house: standing over the sink munching away!
