🍓Hello Sweet Strawberry Season!
Nothing beats fresh, local strawberries. That said, most strawberries in the U.S. are grown in either California or Florida.
Our peak strawberry season is April-June.
Here in Utah, we’ve had good luck growing our own strawberries over the years. The plants give us the sweetest, juiciest berries you’ve ever tasted, throughout the early Summer.
Strawberries are packed with many vitamins, fiber, and high levels of antioxidants. In fact, they are in the top 20 fruits for best antioxidant capacity and also a good source of manganese and potassium.
About eight strawberries provides more vitamin C than an orange!
Strawberries are a sodium-free, fat-free, cholesterol-free, and low-calorie food.
We LOVE to add these beautiful little red berries to everything throughout the Spring and Summer months.
🍋 ALWAYS use freshly squeezed lime juice from an actual fresh lime. Bottled lime juice from the store will give your salsa a strange metallic or overly acidic taste.
Want to get the most juice possible from each of your fresh limes? Of course, we do!
Here’s a quick trick:
On your counter or a cutting board, press and roll the lime back and forth very firmly with your hands.
The rolling loosens and breaks down some of the citrus membranes and makes the outside a little more pliable.
This makes it easier to squeeze which also means you’ll likely get more juice from your squeeze.
Let me know how this works for you!
🔥Did you know that a lot of the heat from peppers is actually found in the seeds?
So, if you remove the jalapeño seeds then you’ll tame down the heat a good bit, leaving the flavor. Your choice!
