It breaks my heart every time I hear about fresh produce being ploughed into the ground due to oversupply. Yep, the pandemic got us good. With restaurants and cafes closed, our poor little strawberries are like rescue puppies, they’re lost and looking for a new home. And thus we either need to eat more of them or watch these amazing beauties go to waste. I’m certainly going to do my bit to not let that happen.

With so much nutrition to offer, here are 4 reasons to pop a punnet in your trolley on your next shopping run.

1. Vitamin C

   With a whopping 170% of our daily intake of vitamin C, strawberries support our immunity and enrich our skin from within.

2. Folate

   Strawberries contain folate and B vitamins, which give our brain power a boost.

3. Antioxidants

   Strawberries contain powerful antioxidants called flavonoids which have been found to improve memory and fight cognitive decline.

4. Gut Health

   Strawberries are rich in gut-loving fibre, your secret weapon to feel fuller for longer.
