HEALTH BENEFITS & FUN FACTS ABOUT STRAWBERRIES
Strawberries are the most popular berry in the world for good reason!
They are juicy, sweet, fragrant, easy to eat, and they look like little hearts! Wild strawberries have grown for millennia:
The ancient Romans enjoyed them, and during the Middle Ages people valued them for medicinal and dietary reasons.
Strawberries are a source of various phytonutrients.
The anthocyanins are potent antioxidants that help protect the body’s organs against cell damage.
The combination of high vitamin C content and phytonutrients makes strawberries a good choice for preventing and fighting bacterial, viral, and fungal infections such as colds, flu, and ear infection.
Who couldn’t use an immunity boost? Vitamin C also plays an important role in strengthening the eye’s cornea and retina, and protects them from exposure to free-radicals from the sun’s harsh UV rays, which can damage the protein in the lens.
This definitely helps when out soaking up the sun on the beach!
An even more fun fact – in France, strawberries are considered an aphrodisiac, and in mythology the strawberry is the symbol of Venus, the goddess of love. ooh-la-laaa! ♥
what is sweet and sour?
Sweet and sour is a mix for cocktails made with water, sugar, lemon and lime juice. You can buy it pre-mixed or you can make your own sweet and sour mix.
I found this a year ago – we were looking for recipe for an office party that wasn’t 80% mixer. It is fabulous! We’ve made several versions – mango, ginger-peach and all have been a success. The staff look forward to these events now, and some were actually disappointed when we opted for a cider-based cocktail for our fall/winter party rather than frozen margaritas! I am the site now to print a “clean” copy, since our beloved, original is rather worn. It has been copied and shared by the crew. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a wonderful frozen drink!
What an awesome share, Jill! I’m so happy to hear you and your co-workers enjoyed the Strawberry Margaritas. Even better, you got creative and used other fruits to make the drink more festive and loveable. I’m happy you have made a tradition within your work community and they simply drank it up. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Nice strawberry margarita recipe, I will have to try this one soon. Do you use fresh or frozen strawberries in your recipe.
Thanks Dave! We use both. Depends what we have on hand. If using frozen fruit just be sure to use less ice. 🙂 Happy Blending!
