National Strawberry Month and How To Make a Strawberry Daiquiri
May’s a great month for a lot of different things, like getting started after a long winter, or for travel, but May is quite well-known for its strawberries! As a matter of fact, May is National Strawberry Month, and whether you can’t get enough of these wonderfully succulent fruits or you haven’t had them since you were a kid, why not buy a few cartons and see what you can do? Nearly all of us have some great associations with this fruit, but a quick look will show you how really versatile they are.
Many people have an instinctive guilty reaction when it comes to sweet things, but the fact is, very few things are as good for you as an organic strawberry. You’ll find that a single serving of strawberries (about eight or nine strawberries) has only fifty calories and more vitamin C than an orange. Like other fruits, strawberries have no saturated fats or cholesterols, and what’s more, they can help fight off the onset of heart disease and cancer.
When it comes to eating them, you may think that you need no help. Who hasn’t had the fun of taking strawberries right from the carton and eating them on the spot? While this is a great way to enjoy the fruit, there are other ways that are just as easy. When you get the strawberries home, cut off the green leaves, put the halved strawberries into a bowl and then cover with water, sugar and ice. This makes a deliciously cold treat for days that are just beginning to get warmer. Similarly, you can dip your strawberries in cream, sugar, or sweetened and condensed milk to get some wonderfully tasty results. At the end of this article you will see some recipes about how to make a strawberry daiquiri.
There is also a space for strawberries in cooked food as well. You’ll find that strawberries, either sweetened and preserved or simply cut up, make a great topping for various breakfast foods, whether you are interested in crepes or pancakes, and this isn’t even touching on how useful they can be on cheesecake or shortbread. For something a little bit different, why not try a strawberry soup? Simply combine a cup of yogurt with a cup of sliced strawberries, two teaspoons of orange juice and one teaspoon of honey in a blender and then served the results chilled. You can also garnish the result with mint sprigs, kiwi slices or mandarin orange slices.
Strawberries are a wonderful fruit when it comes to the beginning of summer, so find some time to make the most of this delicious treat.
