Here’s some strawberry trivia for you!

Strawberries belong to the rose family – and they’re the ONLY only fruit that has seeds on the outside.

They’re super delicious and super good for you, too. 

They’re packed with vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, folate, & potassium – which means they are linked with immune health AND lower blood pressure.

Their antioxidants can help fight bacteria, lower your cholesterol and blood sugar levels, protect your heart, and even fight some cancers.

Strawberries also contain fiber that can feed the good bacteria in your gut to help keep your digestive system running smoothly. 

When possible, choose organic strawberries because conventionally raised berries are often sprayed heavily with pesticides.

(6 servings)

• 1 pint (300 g) strawberries, hulled and diced
• 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
• ¼ cup minced red onion
• 1 lime, juiced 
• ½ cup loosely packed cilantro, minced (or to taste)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Place all the ingredients in a bowl and gently stir. Let sit for at least 20 minutes to give the flavors a chance to combine. 
Taste and adjust the seasonings. If it needs a little sweetness, add a ½ tsp  of honey.
Enjoy!
