And we loaded up on fun. . .<br \/>\n~ hiking at the gorge<br \/>\n~ tea shop outings<br \/>\n~ roller skating<br \/>\n~ farmer&#8217;s markets<br \/>\n~ street fairs<br \/>\n~ documentaries<br \/>\n~ museums<br \/>\n~ loads of good food<br \/>\n~ and berry picking of course!<br \/>\nIt took my favorite thirteen-year-old to drag me away from my computer and I loved every minute of it. Thank you Maya!<br \/>\nI hope you&#8217;ve kicked off your summer with some fine snippets of play and exploration. (Now if we in PDX could just get a little sunshine with that!)

This means that they&#8217;re one of the top twelve fruits or vegetables loaded with pesticides and one that you should always buy organic. Consider this: There is no other commercial fruit more laden with agricultural chemicals.<br \/>\n\u2022 There are over 600 varieties of strawberries. I had no idea until I moved to the northwest and started sampling and planting my own. The shape, flavor and season differ with the varieties but all have that telltale strawberry-look and taste in some way or another ~ the red-pocked flesh, the heart shaped body and the green capped head.<br \/>\n\u2022 Strawberries don&#8217;t ripen after picking. You want to catch them at the right time for maximum flavor. Try not to leave them at room temperature or in sunlight for too long which will cause them to deteriorate and spoil. Best plan?: pick and eat!<br \/>\n\u2022 To freeze strawberries: Gently wash and remove any that have acquired mold or mush. Remove stems or don&#8217;t. (I don&#8217;t.) Pat dry. Place berries on a cookie sheet and freeze in a single layer. Once frozen, berries can be stored in a freezer storage container of your choosing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<table width=\"554\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"554\">\n<div><strong>Nutritional benefits:<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 Strawberries are a great source of vitamin C, especially when allowed to ripen before being picked. This means a freshly harvested local berry is going to have a more profound nutritional profile than a commercial berry.<br \/>\n\u2022 Strawberries also contain a good amount of fiber (think about all those tiny seeds). Good for you and your heart!<br \/>\n\u2022 The pretty berry contains the flavonoids to help fight free radical damage. In fact, an article printed in <em>ScienceDaily<\/em> last year stated that (37 strawberries a day) &#8220;could keep not just one doctor away, but an entire fleet of them, including the neurologist, the endocrinologist, and maybe even the oncologist.&#8221;<br \/>\n\u2022 The flavanoids in the strawberries have anti-inflammatory properties, reducing the activity of the enzyme called COX. This is the same enzyme blocked when you take aspirin or a NSAID. Yet strawberries <em>support<\/em> the health of your colon and heart.<br \/>\n\u2022 The micronutrient profile of the strawberry is even more impressive. You can except to be consuming select B vitamins along with manganese and iron when you feast among the strawberry fields.<br \/>\n\u2022 Strawberries have been known to have a tranquilizing effect. Apparently this is why dental anesthesia and surgical gloves are often scented with strawberry. Personally, I&#8217;d rather be lulled by a bowlful of miniature Hood berries hand-picked by my son and my niece.
