Description
Beautiful locally grown strawberries that are great with cream or on a pavlova. Tennis anyone?
🍓 Strawberries are vibrant red fruits known for their juicy sweetness and fragrant aroma. They’re technically not true berries, but aggregate fruits—each seed on the surface is actually one of the fruit’s ovaries!
Here’s a quick breakdown of what makes strawberries so special:
Appearance: Heart-shaped with a glossy red skin and tiny yellow seeds dotting the surface.
Flavor: Sweet with a hint of tartness, especially when fully ripe.
Texture: Soft and juicy, with a slight crunch from the seeds.
Nutrition: Packed with vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber, making them both delicious and healthy2.
Uses: Enjoyed fresh, in desserts, smoothies, salads, jams, or even savory dishes like balsamic-glazed chicken4.
Fun fact: Strawberries are the first fruit to ripen in spring, and they’re the only fruit with seeds on the outside!
