Health Benefits of Strawberries
So many things mark the start to summer, but I have to say my favorite is when strawberries are in season! I was lucky enough to be able to grow some in my own backyard again this year. Everyday I go out and pick handfuls of these sweet, ruby red, health benefiting treats. There is truly nothing more satisfying!
Growing your own food, and buying locally ensures that your produce is the freshest it can possibly be. Fresh means – more nutrients present, and even better for boosting the immune system. Picking a berry straight off the vine and onto your taste buds is something everyone should experience!
