Strawberries

**When they're in season: Seasonal plants ripen in June, everbearing varieties go all summer. **Health benefits: Rich in antioxidants, minerals, B vitamins, and vitamin C. **How to buy: The berries should be bright red, firm, and smell good. Depending on where you're shopping, ask if you can taste one. **How to store: In the refrigerator in a single layer. They're highly prone to mold so try to eat them in 24 hours. **Fun fact: Strawberries can easily become waterlogged so wash them with a damp paper towel instead of under the sink faucet.
