Picking Perfect Produce
If you have ever had the pleasure of going strawberry picking, it’s a delicious experience. You can taste the sun in the tender flesh. Some of my favorite memories with my two daughters involved late-spring strawberry picking. The only challenge was getting them to put at least some of the sweet berries in the basket--most ended up in their tummies. Try to find a local farmer who grows strawberries in your area. The second or third picking is always the sweetest. Strawberries out of season from California are not as sweet but are still good for juicing. Strawberries are sprayed fairly heavily, and are hard to wash because of their thin delicate skin. This is one fruit I try to buy organic, if the price is not too high.
