STRAWBERRY - the healing fruit of spring

Strawberries are one of the first fruits that we get excited about after the long winter's passed. These heart-shaped fragrant beauties are part of the rose family and are botanically not even concidered a fruit. We know countless varieties and they grow all around the world.

Their health benefits are prooven to be massive, since strawberries contain a range of vitamins and minerals (vitamins C, K, minerals folate, potassium, manganese and magnesium) and are low in callories.  

The polyphenols and antioxidants that  strawberries contain, make them beneficial for improving the immune system, preventing various types of cancers and for reducing the signs of premature aging.

This is my first picking from the garden..Super sweet and best eaten just as they are...
