National Strawberry Day is Feb. 27. There are different stories to the origin of the name. One widely accepted version is that berries would drop off the leaves & become “strewn” about the plant. Over time “strewn-berries” became “strawberries”. A great source of Vitamin C, folic acid, potassium & fiber. For best storage, don't wash the fruit until you are ready to eat. Strawberries are susceptible to mold & washing will speed up spoilage.
