A “berry” good time –

I recently attended a fun event at the Social Table in Chicago put on by our very own Chicagonista, MJ Tam and California Strawberries. As anyone in Chicago knows our Spring has been all over the place, so what a treat it was to bring in a taste of sunshine with like hearted friends.

Here are a few fun facts you may not know –

1. Strawberry is a member of rose family – (See photo of my attempt to artful create a rose 🌹out of strawberry 🍓 – My knife skills need work!)

2. They are the first fruit that ripen in the spring season.

3. Strawberries contain more vitamin C than oranges.

4. There are about 200 seeds on an average strawberry.

5. California produces 75 percent of strawberry crops in the U.S.

Yes, that strawberry in the middle is supposed to be a rose. See it?
