STRAWBERRIES, THE QUEEN OF FRUITS.

Dear Readers.

A warm welcome to all of you to this blog of mine which will be the last before taking a break on my fruits Editions. I may continue on fruits sometime later if you so wish. Today I have posted on STRAWBERRIES.

Strawberry is called "the queen of fruits" because it is packed with health benefits. Compared to fruits like apples, oranges or bananas, strawberries have the highest amount of nutrients.

Strawberry Nutrition

Strawberries are considered one of the healthiest fruits. They are packed with antioxidants, lower blood pressure and protect your heart. Packed with essential vitamins and minerals, they are also sodium, cholesterol and fat free.
For full nutrition and flavor buy fresh strawberries. They need to be firm, plump, have a deep red color, and have green caps and with a light fragrance.

Strawberries uses:

1- Fresh and raw, in jam, cakes, salad, in juice, in pies, milkshake, in chocolate, in sorbets, in smoothies, in ice cream, for topping and in different pastries.
2- Strawberries are also good to enhance beauty, Use it in face packs or simply rub it onto the face for a beautiful glow and a healthier looking skin and along with baking powder as a natural teeth whitener too. Amazingly so this combination is helpful in removing coffee and cigarette stains from your teeth. To get rid of acne and to use it as a conditioning hair mask.

Who knew strawberries were so much more than delicious?
We know it now. Some people may be allergic to strawberries, they better avoid them then. Buy ORGANIC STRAWBERRIES which is better for the health. And enjoy them.
Thanks for reading, my best wishes to all of you.
Lisa.

Looklook,

Thank for your visit and your comments on my blog. Here in my country we have had strawberries since before I was born even, so we are use to eat them since childhood and we like them very much too. It's unfortunate that you don't, could be that you haven't been used to them since long ago.

Though they are benefit for the health and contain many good Vitamins and minerals. Wish you could get use of them as the others.
Wish you all my best and a happy weekend too.
Lisa.

MrsJoe,

How glad I am reading from you again. Thanks for your visit and for your nice comments too. Yes, you are right not to use sugar on them as they do have their own sugar which is quite good for our health.

I enjoy them just as plain too and can eat lots of them, I like their appearance, shape and taste as well as in all type of use. I am really greedy for strawberries, I eat lots of them here in my country. Whenever I go to Europe, the States or Canada, I really cannot see strawberries without buying them, even in Africa too, in many African countries, I could find them, Yummy!!!.

Thanks again for passing by MrsJoe. wishing you a nice weekend also.
Lisa.

Thank you for another very educational blog with beautiful pictures.

Also, I read where the strawberry is the only fruit that produces their seeds on the outside of them.
