National Strawberry Day: To celebrate our passion for strawberry

Red, juicy, and sugary, strawberries are a summertime favorite. They provide a good amount of vitamin C, manganese, potassium, and folic acid (B9). Perhaps beneficial for heart health and blood sugar regulation, strawberries are packed with antioxidants and plant elements. These berries are most popular when eaten fresh but they also work well in several sweet preserves and baked goods.
