Late spring to early summer is the ideal time to indulge in freshly picked strawberries. Low in calories, highly nutritious, and, of course, undeniably delicious, strawberries are the perfect way to create a fresh and light summer meal. Add strawberries to every dish and even your drinks to take advantage of these bright red sweet berries.
Picking and Eating the Perfect Strawberries
When looking for the perfect strawberries, choose berries that are already bright red with bright green tops. Strawberries do not ripen after they are picked, so if their flesh is partly white, pass them by for ruby red berries.
