| Product Detail: | Strawberry plants are grown in stock nurseries and transplanted to fields to grow for another three months before producing fruit. The plants continually produce fruit throughout the production cycle, and during peak season berries are harvested every three days. The fruit is picked, sorted and packed by hand in the field. Fruit for processing is washed, sorted and frozen to retain the best flavor and appearance until prepared. For dried product, strawberries are sugar infused. The sugar acts as a humectant replacing the natural moisture to preserve the fruit, and providing uniform fresh color and sweet taste. Infused dried strawberries are particularly suited for cereals, trail mixes and granolas, snack blends as well as all bakery applications. Strawberries are nutrient dense fruit. In addition to being low in fat and calories, they are naturally high in fiber, vitamin C, folate, potassium and antioxidants. Research evidence continues to grow, showing that in addition to advancing heart health and reducing various types of cancer risks, strawberries have been shown to enhance memory function and aid in the management of rheumatoid arthritis. |
