doesn't love enjoying this
beautiful fruit as an afternoon
snack, quick breakfast with
some yogurt, or tossed with
some other fruits or greens to
make a beautiful salad for
dinner.
Strawberries are fresh and
ripe for picking during the
spring and summer months
(April through September).
They will taste best during
these months as well as be the
most affordable.
Strawberries are a natural-
ly fat-free, sodium-free and
cholesterol-free food. They are
high in Vitamin C and folate
and also provide calcium,
magnesium and potassium.
Recently research has shown
that eating strawberries in
addition to other red fruits
such, as cranberries and rasp-
berries can help reduce the
risk of cancer.
When pUrchasing strawber-
ries look for berries that are
firm, plump, deep red in co!-

their green caps still attached.
