NATIONAL STRAWBERRY DAY – February 27
Mon Feb 27th

National Strawberry Day

On February 27th, we will continue with February's heart-shaped and red theme by celebrating National Strawberry Day. These juicy, sweet berries will brighten up any dish and are delectable on their own.

The name has been used in a few different legends. The berries will fall off the leaves and become "strewn" about the plant, according to the more popular version. "strewn-berries" became "strawberries" over time. strawberry beds were mulched with straw over the winter, insulating the plants over the winter, preventing weeds from growing in, and making them easier to harvest. Children in England are seen stringing the berries on grass straws and selling the "straw berries" in their communities, according to another sweet tale.

Berry picking tips:

  • Pick ripe berries that are completely ripe. Strawberries don't ripen if picked too early, like bananas or pears, so they won't continue to ripen
  • Don't overfill your container. Berries are tender and can bruise quickly
  • Wait until you are ready to eat, don't wash the fruit until you are ready to eat. Strawberries are susceptible to mold, and washing will speed up spoilage
  • On cool, cloudy days, the best time to pick strawberries is on cool, cloudy days, but any time is perfect!
  • Strawberry freezes well, and if you choose more than you can eat before they spoil. Pluck the green caps and toss into a freezer bag, then transfer the green caps and toss into a freezer bag. Use for smoothies, ice cream, or cake toppings

Not only are they delectable, but they are also fragrant. They are one of the rose family's most fragrant fruits, and they belong to one of the rose family.

Strawberries are grown in virtually every corner of the Earth (if the Earth had corners), except for her most frozen southern and northern reaches. Strawberry varieties are also available in addition to all these potential locations.

Strawberry strawberries are also a good source of Vitamin C, potassium, and fiber, making them a great source of Vitamin C. These sweet treats hit the spot when snack time is calling, with 55 calories and zero fat in 1 cup.
