This Week's Featured Product is Strawberries Strawberries are the most popular berry in the US, with 94% percent of US households consuming strawberries. Lucky for us, California produces the majority of these. Strawberries' latin genus, fragaria, is indicative of their strong fragrance; follow their sweet scent to find fresh berries at the farmers' market. Varieties you might find at the market include Albion, Camarosa, Diamante, Seascape, and Aromas.
Store strawberries in the refrigerator, loosely covered with plastic wrap or a paper towel until ready to use. Use berries within 1 or 2 days, washing and hulling them as you use them.
Enjoy and relax: strawberries contain flavinoids that help to reduce inflammation in a similar manner to drugs like aspirin and ibuprofen. You can purchase strawberries from Berry Licious or another of the local farmers selling strawberries. BerryLicious has nine acres of organic strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries, and nine acres of conventionally-grown strawberries in Gilroy. Once you get your purchases home, check out our delicious recipes using strawberries. About the Pacific Coast Farmers' Market Association
