Winner Food Wednesday: Strawberries

Yum. Who doesnt love strawberries?? Or a dish with strawberries? Funny. I actually didnt start really eating strawberries until I was in my 20s *gasps*. I know. I just didnt like the tiny little seeds in my mouth. But now, I appreciate this delicious fruit fully. Especially local and organic. Really, no other taste compares. Now a lot of us may eat strawberries but never actually inquired just how much benefit you actually get from eating such greatness.. So heres a few facts

Strawberries are loaded with…

  • vitamin a
  • vitamin c
  • vitamin k
  • folate
  • Contains protein (yes… strawberries have protein.. most fruits and veggies do 😉  )
  • fiber
  • potassium
  • phosphorus
  • magnesium

…ill stop there. but, there is more that you can search for yourself.

lowers bad cholesterol, good for digestion, boosts immune function, combats heart disease, good for hair and skin.. Shall I continue??? Go get some organic strawberries today!! They make a great breakfast or snack. Remember, fruit should be eaten alone bc of digestion.. which is usually 20mins. But if you arent there yet, try some with baggie full of granola. Itll be sure to give you just what you need. How do you eat your strawberries?? I know there are endless recipes.. salad concoctions, smoothies… The possibilities are endless. Enjoy!!
