Did you know?
Strawberries are excellent sources of vitamin C. Strawberry extract is used to make antiwrinkle beauty products. Look for locally grown strawberries in the summer time. Five medium-sized strawberries are equal to one vegetable and fruit serving.
Buying
- Look for bright red, shiny berries with fresh green hulls (where the stem of the strawberry was broken off).
- Avoid boxes with any spoiled berries or juice-stained containers.
Storing
- Store unwashed in a single layer with green hulls intact.
Preparing
- Eat within 3 days. Wash and dry berries with green hull intact.
- Enjoy whole, sliced or crushed.
- Add them to cereal, yogourt, fruit or green salads, pancakes, waffles or French toast.
