Strawberries–An Every Day Superfruit
Beyond the striking color and popular flavor, strawberries are loaded with nutrients including powerful, disease-fighting antioxidants and 93% of the recommended daily allowance for vitamin C. In fact strawberries are so nutritious, research is finding that they may reduce the risk of heart disease and some cancers, and help memory. California strawberries are a special treat for every day, anytime of day, all year round.
Selection, Storage and Handling
Pick 'em Right
Look for strawberries that are plump, bright red in color and have fresh green caps.
Keep 'em Cool
To maintain flavor, store strawberries loosely covered and unwashed in the refrigerator. Just before eating, rinse with cool water.
