BERRY SEASON...
#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY
Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamins C and K as well as providing a good dose of fibre, folic acid, manganese and potassium.
They also contain significant amounts of phytonutrients and flavonoids which makes strawberries bright red.
FUN FACTS on this lovely fruit:
*Despite their name, strawberries aren't technically berries—they're accessory fruits and as we're getting technical, berries should have seeds inside.
*Strawberries are really in a group of their own since they don't come from a single ovary.
*There are 200 seeds on an average strawberry.
*Plus, they're the only fruit to wear their seeds on the outside.
*Strawberries are the first fruit to ripen each spring.
*Ancient Romans believed strawberries had medicinal powers. They were used to treat everything from depression to fever and sore throats.
*Native Americans were also among the earliest people to eat strawberries. They even introduced European settlers to the fruit.
*Not only can you safely eat strawberries if you have diabetes, but in fact you are encouraged to do so.
Have a great day and thank you for your visit and comment, M, (*_*)
