Enjoy Strawberries This Week
Enjoy strawberries this week while they are in the peak of their season, are the least expensive and have the best flavor. The fragrantly sweet juiciness and deep red color of strawberries can brighten up both the taste and aesthetics of any meal. Not only do they taste great, but they are among the fruits and vegetables ranked highest in health-promoting antioxidants. Antioxidants help combat the damaging effects of free radical activity to cellular structures and DNA. Like the other World's Healthiest Fruits, we recommend enjoying strawberries raw (not in baked/cooked desserts) because they provide you with the best flavor and the greatest benefits from their vast array of nutrients and digestion-aiding enzymes. We also recommend choosing organic strawberries if possible since this year conventionally grown strawberries top the Environmental Working Group's Dirty Dozen, a list of foods with the most pesticide residues. People around the world have long been eating fruit for dessert, not only as a delicious ending to a meal but as a great digestive aid as well.
