STRAWBERRY : Vital Nutrients and Health Benefits

STRAWBERRY, Scientific Name : Fragaria X ananassa

All I can think about when talking about this sweet (and sometimes sour) fruit is, well, the Beatles of course (pardon the fan in me). Anyway, STRAWBERRY is a little bit weird because the seeds are outside, as if in a hurry to pollinate the whole world. Not a bad idea, considering how full of Vital Nutrients the fruit is.
