I am excited to say that strawberry season is finally here after months of waiting!!! Not only are strawberries my most favorite fruit, but so many different things can be done with them. I can't even wait until we get home, before I'm dipping my fingers in and pulling out a sweet, unwashed berry. I'm more than willing to risk a bug or two, not to mention the sprays they use. Okay, well enough of that. Anyway, locally, we have a farm that sells freshly picked strawberries right off the vine and lines begin forming before the place even opens. Unfortunately, these strawberries aren't my best kept secret, but who cares? They are my guilt-free addiction for as long as they're in season, which is never long enough! Aside from the taste, strawberries are one of the healthiest fruits out there which makes me love them all the more. Finally, I typically add them to granola, yogurt, cereal, cool whip (low fat), and an occasional dip in melted chocolate, but they're always best by themselves:).Some of the major benefits of strawberries are:
- anti-oxidant
- high in fiber
- potassium
- folate
- omega 3 fatty acids
- vitamens B5, B6 and vitamen K
- low in calories
