STRAWBERRIES in JUNE...

#AbFav_LATE_SPRING_EARLY_SUMMER_đź‘’

 

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.

I love them! I do wish they'd stop 'fiddling' with them?

In a punnet you now have very sweet and super sharp?

 

Have a great day and thank you for your visit and comment, M, (*_*)
