‘Strawberries’, the word in itself sounds mouth watering. It is colourful, tasty and a lovely fruit with so many wonderful qualities, which makes it so irresistible.

A variety of delicious recipes prepared with strawberry is loved by all. I beleive most of the kids love strawberries, if not for anything atleast for its color and taste. My passion for strawberries began when I was three. First time when I had the mouth watering strawberry cake, I just fell in love with strawberries.

During those days, it was hard to find strawberries in town. The place where I come from, strawberry was considered to be one of the expensive fruits and was not available in the market so easily. My mom used to search for it and get it just for me. Making strawberry milkshake was one of my favorites. My mom always used to tell me that by having strawberries my cheeks would turn RED in color, imagining which i used to love having strawberries. I guess most of our moms tell their kids the same to encourage them to eat. Guess it works!! It did work for my mom.

For a long time I had the passion for strawberries. Let there be any family gathering or friends meeting, everyone knew what to order for me, it would be either my favorite drink or ice cream with strawberry in it . But as days passed and with busy life, I was missing on my favorite fruit.

As we grew with the changing world, the introduction to strawberry through media and technology arouse my love back to strawberry. The ads on television with strawberry flavored ice-cream, chocolates, juices, pastries… hmmmmmmm… .wow it looked and sounded yummy…. nothing could stop me from having them anymore.

After tasting the flavored strawberry, I felt having a fresh fruit strawberry is more exciting than the flavored one. It was that day when i was doing my grocery shopping with my husband when I saw the pack of strawberries lying at the shelf, I just couldn’t lay my hands off it. That very day I got the fruit and tried out new recipes, prepared strawberry ice-cream at home, milkshake, strawberry fruit-dip, cake and many more yummy recipes.. I’m loving it!!

My love to strawberries made my husband fall in love with it too. “I’ve never had so many strawberries in my life until now” – say’s he.

My research on strawberries showed me that along with being filled with nutrition, strawberries are also good for skin when applied as face mask. So I tried it and it really left a sparkling and shining effect on my face. Surprised ? so was I. But believe it or not I was truly glowing. Now I love strawberries even more and is again a favorite fruit of mine
