When it comes to heath, we know a thing or two…after all, just one serving of our delicious Well•Pict strawberries packs more vitamin C than a single orange. That’s right people. Strawberries aren’t only pretty little things to dip in chocolate. No, they’re so much more than that – though the whole chocolate dipped strawberry invention must be one of the single greatest inventions in the history of our world if you ask me – anyway, back to the topic at hand. Strawberries.

Those tasty, fresh and brilliantly red berries that are perfectly acceptable to eat at any point during the day are packed full of antioxidants and are also a great source of manganese, potassium and fiber. To say strawberries are healthy is the understatement of the century. One standard sized serving of strawberries contains only 49 calories, 12 carbs and less than 1 gram of fat for all of your calorie counters out there. They are sodium-free, cholesterol free and basically fat-free and are known to lower blood pressure, increase HDL cholesterol (don’t worry – that’s the good cholesterol) and protect your heart as well as guard against cancer.

Okay, okay. I know you may be wondering what this tangent on how amazing strawberries are is all about. Well, I am here to tell you that your health is the answer. Staying healthy not only tacks on gold stars to your self-care score card, it keeps those around you healthy as well. Maintaining a healthy workplace, home, and mental space is so important and fresh strawberries can help tremendously.

As a retailer, displaying your fresh strawberries at the front and center of your produce department not only drives your customers to the berries, it also promotes healthy eating which is a main step in staying healthy and we all know that good health is a chain reaction. When one person puts their fresh foot forward towards a healthier lifestyle, it tends to make those that are close around you like your friends, family & co-workers follow in your fresh footsteps.
