Interesting Facts About Strawberries  |
| |
| Since Valentine's Day is tomorrow and since people love chocolate-covered strawberries, thought I'd share some interesting facts about strawberries. For instance, did you know that strawberries are the only fruit with their seeds on the outside? I didn't! Strawberries are also a memeber of the rose family, another favorite of Valentine's Day! Another cool thing about strawberries is that they are not a fruit at all, but enlarged ends of the plant's stamen. That got my attention, as I thought strawberries were indeed fruit! Did you also know that over ninety four percent of households in the United States consume strawberries? I don't think I have to mention that covered-strawberries, whether with chocolate or another fruit sauce, are very popular! Now on to Strawberry's health benefits. One cup of strawberries only has 55 calories in it! Awesome for all you out there trying to watch your weight! 8 medium strawberries also contain 140% of the U.S.RDA for Vitamin C, which might explain why I made a strawberry shake this morning? Strawberries are good sources of folic acid, fiber and potassium, and they have been proven to fight cancer. These reasons are all beneficial to consume strawberries at any time of the year, not just for Valentine's Day, yes? Strawberries were also cultivated in ancient Rome, in 12th century B.C. Isn't that cool? | | | | | |

| | Wow, this is very interesting. I love strawberries, and I didn't even know about its health benefits or that the seeds are outside. I had a strawberry yogurt shake yesterday in a Persian restaurant, and I really enjoyed it. Now I want to drink another shake! I would definitely be going back to that restaurant. | | | | | | |

| | Thank you for this very interesting chronicle. Here another curiosity about strawberries and health : Linnaeus, who gave the classical Latin name for strawberries (Fragaria vesca), said that he was cured by this fruit : he had not eaten for 14 days and was closed to death when someone brought him a bowl of wild strawberries... | | | | | | |
