A Note on Strawberries..

Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin C and fiber, strawberries are full of antioxidants that can help promote heart and vision health, and protect against cancer and inflammatory diseases. Because pesticides are commonly used on conventionally grown varieties, you should use organically grown strawberries whenever possible.

Quick Tip: Wash strawberries right before eating or using in prepared dishes, as they are very perishable. And don't remove the stems until after you wash them, to prevent water absorption which can affect the texture and flavor.
