Did you know Strawberries are part of the Rose Family? Yes, I said Rose, like in the pretty Flower. They are also the only fruit to bear it's seeds on the outside of its skin. Traditionally fruits and vegetables carry their seeds on the inside, and they need moisture to germinate. Strawberries just require sunlight.
Why should we eat Strawberries? There are several reasons to incorporate Strawberries into your diet. Ounce for Ounce they have more Vitamin C than any other citrus. They contain a fair amount of fiber, and the anti-oxidants they carry are great at killing cancer cells. In particular, esophageal cancer. And last, by not least, Strawberries have a natural element that whitens your teeth. The same element is used in teeth whitening gum. So eat your Strawberries and smile!
Summer time is here, that means these babies are fresh and ready to be eaten. They go great in salads. My favorite is Quinoa, Green Onion, Walnuts, Spinach and Strawberries(add diced feta if you are a cheese fan). *
I would suggest putting a fair amount of apple cider vinegar on the Quinoa. This helps get rid of the Quinoa after taste. :) The rest of the items just toss in E.V.O.O., Salt and Pepper.
