Thank Heaven for Ripe and Luscious STRAWBERRIES!

Are you a strawberry lover? If so, you are in for a treat because it's strawberry season!
 
Did you know that citrus fruits are not the only fruit that contain a large source of vitamin C? In fact, eight strawberries contain 140% of the recommended daily intake for vitamin C! Vitamin C helps maintain a healthy immune system and is a natural anti-inflammatory--decreasing your body’s systematic inflammation.

If you are craving sweet strawberries, June and July are the best months to buy ripe and cheap strawberries. You will notice the amount of strawberries in the grocery stores (or better yet, the farmer's market) will increase greatly, as the strawberry harvest is happening now!
