About Strawberries
The common garden strawberry was originally bred in France in the 1700’s, but wild versions have been used as food and medicine long before this. China and the United States are the largest producers of Strawberries.
Nutrition Benefits of Strawberries
Strawberries are a good source of vitamin C and manganese. Due to their polyphenol antioxidants, some research has linked strawberries to cardiovascular health, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, blood sugar regulation, and bad-cholesterol lowering properties.
Smoothie Tip
We typically buy frozen strawberries to be used in smoothies. They are cheaper and last a very long time.
