ingredient of the month STRAWBERRIES
One of the simple delights of the summer season: local strawberries. Traditionally available in June, this fruit has several sweet varieties that are available throughout the warm months at roadside fruit stands, farmers’ markets and grocery stores. Nutrient-rich and loaded with antioxidants, strawberries are one of nature’s healthiest treats, so take the time to enjoy them piled high on shortcakes, baked into muffins and tarts, preserved or simply eaten out of hand.
