Is there anything more beautiful than a strawberry patch? Dark green leaves, bright white blooms, and spots of red berries peeking out. Strawberries are coming into season about now, and the joy of picking them and eating them is so ... summery! Today is National Pick Strawberries Day, so go pick some strawberries or "pick" a box of them up from the store and make strawberry shortcake. Here are three fun facts about strawberries according to National Day Calendar:
1. Strawberries are members of the rose family.
2. Strawberries are the only fruit with their seeds on the outside.
3. Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin C.
