Spring is here! Let’s celebrate the start of spring with the first fruit to ripen…

Strawberries!

Facts about Strawberries

Fun:

A berry has its seeds on the inside. Since the seeds are on the outside, strawberries aren’t true berries, like blueberries or grapes. Each seed is considered by botanists to be its own separate fruit. 

Health:

Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin C and manganese and also contain decent amounts of folate (vitamin B9) and potassium. 

This Strawberry & Avocado Salad uses a few other March seasonal veggies and it is sure to spring you into a good mood! Stay tuned as…
