It is Florida and it is Strawberry season. I love to see the stands at the side of the road with fresh berries! I love the smell of them too! As I remember in one of my blogs about strawberries, they are from the Rose Family!(who knew)!
Did you know that strawberries have more vitamin C than oranges? Did you know Americans eat 8 pounds of strawberries per year!! And that they come in a variety of colors.
All I have seen in the red strawberry and the pineberry which is white. Florida berries are grown in Plant City which is also known as the Winter Strawberry capital of the world. Because here they run from Thanksgiving to Easter.
Did you know that there are 10,000 acres of growing strawberries around Plant City? Being from up north our strawberry season is always in June. So it was really funny to try to wrap my head around that! lol
You can't have strawberry season without our Florida Strawberry Festival. It begins March 1st through 11th at the Fair grounds in Plants City. They do have the best strawberry shortcake that I have ever tasted!
This is my version of Strawberries and Sweet biscuits!
Strawberry Delight!
