While eating lots of strawberries these days, I wondered how beneficial this fruit is? This is a seasonal fruit in India. Fresh ones are available only in winter –from December to middle of March. Can’t forget I went through a long distance to visit the beautiful strawberry garden with my whole family in May, and it was all over that time. Oops! But no worries, we can make it next year. That yummy looking strawberries, I can swallow one bowl all at once! No wonder why we love this; its gorgeous red color is totally eye-catching, but it has many health benefits as well. Ok, do you know why should we eat strawberries?
