Strawberry - per box

Quick Overview

The strawberry, scientifically known as Fragaria ananassa, originated in Europe in the 18th century. It is a hybrid of two wild strawberry species from North America and Chile.

Strawberries are bright red in color, have a juicy texture, a characteristic aroma, and a sweet flavor. They are an excellent source of vitamin C and manganese, and also contain decent amounts of folate (B9) and potassium. Strawberries are very rich in antioxidants and plant compounds, and may have benefits for heart health and blood sugar control.

They are usually consumed raw and fresh, but can also be used in a variety of jams, jellies, desserts and for food flavoring.
