Strawberry Recipes
This list of Strawberry Recipes has some great ideas for summer meals and desserts! This juicy red fruit is the taste of summer for many of us, reminding us of hot summer days and lazy warm evenings. When is the best time of year for strawberries? Fresh strawberries are definitely a summer fruit. They are are easy to grow in your garden, buy from a local fresh produce vendor, or you can go strawberry picking on a farm. Strawberries picked fresh tend to be small and much sweeter because of their concentrated sugars. When picked early, as it the case with grocery store produce, the flavors are dulled. When picked fresh, all of the starches have turned to sugars and you are left with nature's own summer candy. Eat healthy this summer! Strawberries don’t just taste delicious; they are good for you. The rich red color betrays the fact that they are a rich source of antioxidants for the body, helping mop up the free radicals that can speed aging and cause cancer. They contain more vitamin C ounce for ounce than many citrus fruits, particularly if you eat them fresh from your garden or local market. They are fat free and fiber rich. One cup of strawberries contains only fifty calories. Fresh strawberries taste far better than frozen ones so take advantage of them while you can during the summer season. My favorite way to eat strawberries is in a bowl with a little sugar, cream or maybe a little balsamic vinegar but they are a versatile fruit and there are many strawberry recipes available. These range from the simple to the more complicated, some of which allow you to savor the summer taste all year round. List of Strawberry Recipes:
