If you're passionate about strawberries, you’re not alone. Strawberries have been highly prized throughout history—the heart-shaped berry was regarded as one of the best aphrodisiacs in provincial France. Strawberries are not just for dessert. Blend them into a smoothie or put them in low-fat yogurt. Add strawberries to salads for fruity flair. Mashed and mixed with balsamic vinegar, strawberries turn into a delicious marinade for chicken or tofu. At night, try a strawberry-based cocktail. Whatever preparation you choose, be sure to get your fill of sweet strawberries while they’re fresh and in season.
