Rich in powerful antioxidants that work to fight free radicals, strawberries are one of the most popular berries in existence. Their seeds are on the exterior, not the interior of the fruit. You can freeze, dehydrate, preserve, bake, puree, juice, or leave them be and eat them fresh. However you prepare them, you really can’t go wrong!
Strawberry Fact: Strawberries were actually a gift from Chile and were brought to North America in the 1750s.
Flourishing in Mediterranean climates, strawberries are popular all over the world. They contain lots of polyphenols, folate, potassium, manganese, magnesium, and a little dietary fiber. They work to boost eye health, strengthen the immune system, and boost brain function.
