National California Strawberry Day marks the strawberry season in California as part of National Nutrition Month. Every year, the commemoration takes place on March 21st, which is usually the first full day of spring. It's the perfect time to refresh our senses and get excited about fresh fruit dishes..

Strawberries are the fruit of paradise speckled with a touch of sunshine and whimsy. Strawberry ice cream cones are a hit at picnics with their vibrant red dimpled fruit. These dazzling and beautiful berries are delectable, and delicious, of course, as the season heats up, the ice creams will drip down our chins, but it is a fair price to pay for a delectable crop of these dazzling and beautiful berries. The juices leave a tantalizing mark on sweet toddlers and sweethearts alike's lips even when they're fresh.
