Strawberry Season
It’s just about time for fresh
strawberries, either from your
own garden or your local farm
market. Cooperative Exten
sion’s pamphlet, “Enjoy Na
ture’s Fresh Strawberries,”
provides tips on purchasing,
storing, and preparing, as well
as the characteristics of several
different varieties of berries and
a few recipes and ideas for
eating them (the best part!).
Here’s just a few of the ideas.
In the early 18th Century,
French explorers discovered a
plump red berry cultivated by
the Indians of Chile. They took
several plants home with them.
In 1714, the Chilean berry was
crossed with a wild meadow
strawberry that had been discov
ered in colonial Virginia. The
result was a luscious strawberry

Pennsylvania strawberries are
available through the month of
June. Select fully ripe and ap
propriately colored strawberries
with intact green caps. Pale ber
ries do not become sweeter after
they are picked. One cup of
sliced, unsweetened strawberries
contains only 2 mg of sodium,
but it is high in potassium (247
mg) and Vitamin C (140%
U.S.RDA).
Strawberries should be refri
gerated immediately after pur
chasing. Never rinse the berries
or remove the caps before stor
ing. Remove bruised, rotted, or
molded berries before refrigerat
ing. Strawberries should only be
stored for a couple days in the
refrigerator before eating.
To prepare your strawberries
for use, remove the caps and
gently wash the berries with cool
