“Heaven and earth never agreed better to frame a place for man’s habitation,” said Captain John Smith of Jamestown, when he arrived in 1607 to find strawberries growing in abundance with other native berries and fruits. Today, nearly 400 years later, consumers show that same appreciation for a variety of reasons.
The naturally sweet strawberry is a very good source of Vitamin C, potassium and iron. Another reason for their popularity may be the fact that strawberries are the earliest fresh fruit locally available after a long, cold winter.
