Strawberries have the best crop between July and September, at this time you will find better quality in fruit and offers. The flavor can vary between sweet (when more mature) or more acidic (less mature). The fact that the seeds are on the outside of the fruit makes it an even more unique fruit. A fruit that should certainly be included in the DA in everyday life, not only because it is powerful, but because it also has a low glycemic index (after consumed, they do not increase the glucose in their blood abruptly). Because they are rich in phytochemicals (ellagic acid, anthocyanins, quercetin and catechin), they carry a very significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant action and studies point to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases (blood pressure regulation, dyslipidemia (Alteration in Colerol levels, triglycerides), hyperglycemia (high blood glucose level) and cancer.
how to use? How would you consume any other fruit. They are also great for accompanying yogurts, salads, or with that sacred dose of dark chocolate. Like blueberry (blueberry), I love to include it in smoothies because they are not sugar-rich fruits, but are highly powerful for our health.

TIP: Like most fruits without skin or thin skin, I recommend investing in the organic option because they are one of the fruits with the highest level of pesticides. They can also be stored in the freezer when very mature to avoid waste and still include in smoothies.
Where to buy: Organic fairs, food fairs, supermarkets.
