Try these quick, easy strawberry recipes for a delicious taste of summer

Strawberries are a tasty and versatile fruit that can be enjoyed right throughout the day. Whether they’re bringing sweetness to a healthy breakfast, adding zing to a summer salad for lunch, or the inspiration for a dinner dessert. Locally grown Irish strawberries are at their tastiest when enjoyed in season from May to October.

Bord Bia is encouraging people to celebrate the new strawberry season to enjoy the naturally sweet and healthy fruit in their summer meals. Bord Bia Quality Assured strawberries are grown around the country and are widely available to purchase in retailers nationwide.

Not only are strawberries loved for their delicious, unique taste, but the fruit is also packed full of nutritional benefits. Including just one portion (approx 80g) of strawberries in meals or as a snack provides almost 100 per cent of the daily requirement of vitamin C, which contributes to the normal function of the immune system and reduces tiredness and fatigue. Eating strawberries is a fantastic way to hydrate naturally; they also contain fibre, contributing to the overall function of the digestive system.
