Fruit File: Strawberry

Monday, February 5th, 2007

Love is in the air when the strawberry is around, well love or Wimbledon! Or are they the same thing?

Strawberry jam, strawberry jelly, strawberry ice cream, strawberry desserts, strawberry crumble (the list isn’t quite as good as the shrimp one from Forest Gump)

Nutritional Stuff

Packed full of Vit C, good source of manganese, folate and potassium

Storage

In the fridge (or freezer), don’t let them get warm; they don’t like that at all!

When to use

When still firm but not rock solid, the redder the better! If there is any leakage then they are past best and should be thrown in the bin of oblivion

Tips

Freeze your strawberries and use them as a delicious replacement for ice cubes! Remember to pluck the leaves off!
