Guest guest Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 Peaches are like that. A medium peach only has 42 cals and 10g of carbs. I always eat two of them. It seems like you can eat raspberries by the bucket too. :-) strawberries Holy Cow! I just looked in my food count book and found out one pint of strawberries has 22 carbs! I only ate 6.....Yippee! I get to eat some more! (It seems like a total comercial....You will have to eat 1 PINT of strawberries to equal the same carb. content of only one wallpaper-tasting bowl of Total!)

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 It is too late now but maybe an answer for next time. If I am using strawberries in a smoothie, is it necessary to take off the leafy tops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I live in Florida, directly across from the Kennedy Space Center and approximately an hour east of Orlando. I do have to admit that the weather is great most of the time, except for those occassional tropical storms and hurricanes. No matter what part of the country you live in, we are all facing occasional freak weather patterns these days. Our winters are getting colder with more plants and bushes dying that never had any problems before. > > > > This morning I picked quite a few strawberries at a pick your own place.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 It's usually not my practice to Vitablend stuff I wouldn't eat otherwise (except, maybe, pineapple cores), e.g., certain fruit rinds/peel, bitter seeds, egg and seed shells, etc. I do, however, shell apricot pits when I prepare the food for freezing and then insert them back in the fruit--gives a nice, subtly bitter almond flavor with natural laetrile. It works for me but everyone's different. Now that I think of it, I don't use the stem in strawberries, either. Strawberries > > ? It is too late now but maybe an answer for next time.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Sandy where do you live, I am still a foot under snow too. And just a few days ago got a foot more. But the day we got the foot of snow I dared not complain because it was when poor Japan had its devastation. Carolyn In a message dated 3/13/2011 5:14:19 P.M.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I don't - I wash them well and use them tops and all (in smoothies). If the strawberries start to go bad (which they usually do within 24 hours of washing them) I put them in the freezer for smoothies tops and all!

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 In my demos I say they are like "little salads" on top of your strawberries! The leaves taste fine - it is just not something people think to do. Most people don't eat dandelion greens, but they are very edible and nutritious!

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Hi Barb, There are two types of strawberries--June-bearing and Ever-bearing. Many places will have both, the June bearing plants to a huge crop in the spring (June) and then its over. The Ever-bearing ones will have a crop early then late an some varieties will produce all season. You may also try farther north, there are several berry farms north of the metro (toward Duluth as well as St. Cloud) that are about a week behind the south metro. The MN Grown website has a search engine to find berry farms too. > > I cannot believe how quickly strawberry season was over this year! It seems > everyone was picked out before I could get to them. > > Does anyone know if there are any strawberries farms that still have > berries? > > Barb > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
