L O C A L   S T R A W B E R R I E S. The essence of summer from those small vine ripened wild strawberries to all the cultivated varieties grown today, an amazingly tasty morsel. And not just tasty but nutritious, ‘SelfNutritionData,’ tells us this food is very low in Saturated Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium. It is also a good source of Folate and Potassium, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin C (149% of the daily requirement) and Manganese. You can’t go wrong, wash them and enjoy!
