BERRY GOOD NUTITION:
Unless you can pick the berry in the wild yourself, *frozen is the best way to go. Berries sold fresh in the supermarket are picked before they are ripe to prevent the berries from going bad before they reach the consumer; because of this, nutrients are lower. Frozen berries are picked when perfectly ripe and frozen immediately, maximizing nutrient content.
Strawberries offer more vitamin C than any other berry, and provide significant amounts of fiber, folic acid, potassium, and manganese. Strawberries are rich in polyphenol compounds (anthocyanins, ellagic acid, and procyandins) that are believed to support brain, vascular, and overall health.
