BERRY SEASON...

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, (*_*)
