                                                 NATIONAL PICK STRAWBERRIES DAY
         There is nothing more delightful than biting into a juicy red strawberry, on a hot summers day! It is something about a freshly picked strawberry that takes you back to being a kid again.
          National Pick Strawberries Day is on  May 20th, beginning in late April all through summer.

 A FEW FUN FACTS ABOUT STRAWBERRIES:

• Strawberries are members of the rose family
• Strawberries are the only fruit with their seeds on the outside
• Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin C
• Strawberries are low-fat, low in calories and a good source of fiber, folic acid and potassium
• Strawberries help can help fight bad cholesterol and may reduce inflammation
• The first strawberries were grown in France in the late 18th century.  Prior to the 18th century, wild strawberries were collected and commonly used as a fruit source.

     I remember growing up in my hometown and getting excited about Spring and Summer so that we could pick berries for money, and then eating more than we picked! There are so many ways you can turn strawberries into a sweet treat, from strawberry pie, strawberry shortcake, and the list of deliciousness can go on and on. So if you get out today and have a sweet tooth, go "pick" up some strawberries and enjoy the taste of summer!!
