Strawberries: THE ultimate pick-me-up before what's sure to be a hectic day, evening and night at work. Lesigh.
I don't know anyone who doesn't love this fruit. Freshly picked and sourced from Cheddar (just down the road/motorway from me!), my nan bought me these today as a healthy treat - she knows me well!
Not only are strawberries amazingly tasty, they pack in more vitamin C than oranges (8 medium strawbs are the equivalent of 140% of the RDA for vitC), and are also high in folic acid, potassium, antioxidants, flavonoids (for lowering cholesterol), malic acid (helps to remove stains from teeth), and ellagic acid (cancer-fighting substance). The pulp of strawberries can also help to recover from a fever.
Need I say more?!
