Who Doesn't Love Strawberries?

Who Doesn’t Love Strawberries?

They are delicious plain or added to a salad, smoothie, or on shortcake, and best of all, they’re good for you.

But, did you know: They boost your immune system Lower risk of many diseases Help strengthen the nervous system Helps reduce cholesterol Helps stabilize blood pressure Loaded with potassium, Vitamin K, and magnesium Great for skin and slows the aging process Promotes eye health Helps the body burn fat

Strawberries are on the Dirty Dozen list for fruits and vegetables that are heavily sprayed with pesticides, so I like to grow my own or buy from a farm that sells pesticide free produce.

If you live in Central Illinois, you’ll definitely want to check out Scott’s Berry Patch. Their strawberries are just about ready, and they are wonderful!!!
