Strawberry Recipes for the Family

Did you know 80 percent of strawberries are grown in California, which alone supplies over a billion pounds of the fruit every year? That’s a lot of berries! So, in celebration of May being National Strawberry Month, we’ve scoured the web for these seven recipes that feature the fruit of honor – that southeast Michigan families can whip up right at home.

Strawberries are packed with fiber and antioxidants. They’re low in calories and high in vitamin C – which has been shown to protect against cancer and stroke and to improve cardiovascular health. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner, strawberries are versatile and yummy enough for any meal of the day.
