It’s strawberry season and there are so many reasons to eat them. Strawberries are not only delicious, but are packed with nutritional benefits. One serving, or about 8 berries, provides 160% of the Recommended Daily Value for Vitamin C and contains high amounts of antioxidants which may help improve heart health, lower the risk of developing some cancers and lower blood pressure.
