Ahhhh, summer. Sun, heat, and farm time! 

This last week, I took 2 of my boys out to a local berry farm and picked 2 full buckets of strawberries! Yummmmmmmmmmy.

We all know these little red berries are delicious, but did you know that strawberries have lots of great health benefits - ranging from antioxidants, to Vitamin C to even claiming to help fight against tartar build up on your teeth??!

Some other neat facts about strawberries that maybe you don't know:

There are 60 different varieties of strawberries!

In addition to vitamin C, strawberries also provide an excellent source of vitamin K and manganese, as well as folic acid, potassium, riboflavin, vitamin B5, vitamin B6, copper, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids.

 Strawberries are highly recognized as skin cleansing food. 

At our house, these little red berries have been well snacked on, made into jam, and frozen for some smoothies!

Watch for more strawberry recipes coming soon! :)
