Tuesday's market will be loaded with farm fresh strawberries so you can create the perfect Memorial Day dessert! Slice them and add some whipped cream, make a strawberry shortcake or just eat them in all of their red perfection! Nothing says Happy Memorial Day better than strawberries!

Here's a few little known facts about this luscious fruit...

Strawberries are a member of the rose family and are not technically a berry!

Strawberries are the only fruit with the seeds on the outside and the average berry has over 200 of them!

Eight medium strawberries only have 45 calories!

They are packed with fiber and high in folate and phytonutrients that are sure to boost your general health!

It's even said that they can help improve your memory...we all need that! Lol

The best thing about a strawberry is that it is the first fruit to ripen in the spring...we all get to enjoy them fresh from our farms!
