Season: These berries are at their best from May through September.
How to buy: Pick fragrant berries that are red from the tops to the tips, as they don't continue to ripen after harvest. Opt for organic: Strawberries are more likely than most fruits to have pesticide residue.
How to store: Keep in the fridge. Don't rinse or remove green tops until ready to use.
Nutritional benefit: These antioxidant-rich berries have the power to lower blood sugar, making them an especially sweet treat if you're diabetic or trying to lose weight. Strawberries also contain fisetin, which halts the growth of cancerous cells while diminishing tumors' blood supply.
