What is National Pick Strawberries Day?

Every May 20th, National Pick Strawberries Day encourages us to pick some strawberries. They begin to season right around this time of year.

The flavor of a sun-warmed strawberry picked straight off the vine is something special. Strawberries are the best freshest, but they also make delectable desserts. Strawberry shortcakes or adding them to homemade yogurt and fresh jams comes to mind. However, strawberries also have other beneficial characteristics.

Strawberry picking time is usually between late April and early summer, depending on what part of the United States you live in. When picking strawberries, you'll want to look for the bright red, firm, and plump ones.
