Red Superfood to the Rescue!
By
Mrs. Wong's Second Grade Students
What's red, has a green stem, and is very popular? If you guessed strawberries, then you are correct! Strawberries are September's superfood.
California grows the most strawberries in the country! Strawberries provide many healthy benefits for our bodies. First, they help our skin look young. Next, they promote eye health. Also, eating strawberries helps prevent cancers and it helps your bones grow strong too. We bet you didn't know that strawberries have more nutrients than oranges, apples, and bananas. They also help boost your short term memory. Finally, strawberries help ease inflammation.
All in all, strawberries are not only SUPER SWEET, but they are SUPER HEALTHY for you too! So, eat lots of strawberries!
