Strawberry Pros - Strawberries are rich vitamins C and K, dietary fiber, and in flavonoids, especially anthocyanidin. The red of strawberries is due to the anthocyanidin known as pelargonidin. These flavonoids lessen the activity of the enzyme cyclooxygenase. Aspirin and ibuprofen block pain by blocking cyclooxygenase, which is linked to inflammatory conditions like arthritis, asthma, atherosclerosis, and cancer. Unlike aspirin and ibuprofen, strawberries do not cause internal bleeding or heart disease. In a study of 1,271 elderly people in New Jersey, strawberries topped a list of eight foods that were most linked to lower rates of cancer; participants eating strawberries were one third as likely to develop cancer as those eating few or no strawberries.
Strawberry Cons - Strawberries commonly associated with allergic reactions and pesticide residues. Strawberries contain moderate levels of oxalates, which should be avoided by people with a history of calcium oxalate kidney stones.
 Pick Your Own Advantages - The freshest fruits and vegetables generally have the highest nutritional value. There are over 600 varieties of strawberries; pick-your-own fruits do not have to be specially bred to withstand transportation across the country or across the globe; they can be better tasting berries. Many of the farms listed above allow customers to bring their own containers, which is an opportunity to use recycled containers. And it offers an interesting, outdoor activity and exercise.




Note: Minnesota Craft Festival  -

This craft fair had been held at St. Catherine's and then at the History Center. 2006 was its last year.
