Quick Snacks

Research shows that the vast majority of fresh strawberries are eaten right from the punnet (well over 50%) with no other preparation but to wash them.

Other ways Australians simply enjoy strawberries:

• In a fruit salad
• Fresh over cereal or yoghurt
• With cream and or ice-cream
• Dusted of icing sugar
• Floating in Champaign or bubbly
• Decoration to baked deserts
• Dipped in chocolate
• Mixed in a smoothie

Always searching for a healthy lunch box filler? Wash some strawberries and place in a small zip lock bag as depicted.

Grower tip – to make a fresh strawberry taste as sweet as possible eat it back to front!!
Instead of holding the calyx (green leafy top) and starting to eat from the tip, remove the calyx holding the tip eat the wide end first and finish off with the tip ... the tip ripens first and so has a higher % of sugars meaning that the sweetest flavour will remain in your mouth.
