5 Healthy Ways To Eat Strawberries

By: Gabriel Adams Strawberries are a lovely sweet red fruit and there are a variety of ways in which to eat them. Here are five options for you to consider when faced with a punnet of fruit.

One way to eat strawberries is to pick them straight from the plant and to toss them immediately into your mouth. This is many people’s favorite way to eat strawberries but don’t forget to wash them first in case there are any dirt or chemicals on them. This is of course not the only way to eat strawberries.

A healthy nutritious way to eat strawberries is in a bowl of cold cereal and milk. This helps you with your five a day portions of fruit and vegetables as well as adding a sweet flavor to your cereal. The deliciousness is not to be underestimated!

You can also eat strawberries in a third way, which is in a bowl of ice cream. When you compare the sweet tartness of this amazing fruit with the rich and creamy flavor of ice cream you get an unbelievable taste sensation.

A fourth method is to add the strawberries into a fruit salad with other tasty fruits such as pineapple, melon and grapes.

Finally, you can actually drink the leaves of the strawberry plant in tea! Many are already familiar with various 'herbal teas' and the direct health benefits these drinks can have. Both raspberry and strawberry leaf teas were popular amongst North Americans, who hundreds of years ago identified many healing plants that modern homeopathy is only now 'discovering'. As well as hot teas, there are also ice cold versions available that are great for drinking in the hot summers.

One thing is for sure, when this terrific fruit is in season, there is no shortage of ways to eat them!
