Reunited and it feels so good! To all our strawberry fans who have waited patiently, come indulge in your beloved variety and look out for new sundae and smoothie creations.
STRAWBERRY IS BACK AT THE SOFT SERVE FRUIT CO. APRIL 16th!
Strawberries are sure to put some "Spring" back in our step! There are so many reasons to celebrate the return of strawberry.
Did you know that Madame Tallien, a member of Emperor Napoleon's Court, was famous for bathing in 22 Lbs of fresh strawberries? Of course, she didn't bathe daily. Here are some more fun facts.
While we don't recommend bathing in strawberries, we do encourage eating them! There are so many health benefits! From fighting Spring allergies to helping your memory, strawberry is all good!
Do you remember vintage Strawberry Shortcake? She grew strawberries with love. These helpful tips on growing strawberries in containers are a little more practical.
BURN OFF THE FAT FASTER WITH STRAWBERRY!
Did you know that people who eat nitrate rich foods, like our friend the strawberry, before working out burned 100 more calories than those who did not. Grab a strawberry smoothie or sundae before your workout!
As the weather warms up, there are so many fun activities for you and your family. Stroll through Central Park and visit Strawberry Fields! While there aren't any actual strawberry fields here, it is a quiet spot to take in the natural beauty of the park.
Our friends at Edible Vineyard share a great recipe and story of a simple, sweet strawberry dessert.
For more ideas, stop by the Union Square Market and grab some strawberries as soon as they are out and try one of these 100 ways to use strawberries.
Strawberries are so fantastic that they make us want to break out in song! John Lennon and The Beatles famously mentioned strawberry in their hit Strawberry Fields Forever. Which was actually a song about playing with the kids at a Liverpool orphanage.
There seems to be a lot of songs about Strawberries that have very little to do with the actual fruit:
Deana Carter - Strawberry Wine
Coldplay - Stawberry Swing
Halcali - Strawberry Chips - Not exactly sure what they are saying, but we think it is about how delicious strawberries are.
But enough of that. We here at The Soft Serve Fruit Co. love real strawberries! Here are some great ways to enjoy Strawberry Soft Serve Fruit at one of our three locations.
- A Very Berry Smoothie - Strawberry Soft Serve Fruit with fresh berries.
- A Fruit Salad Sundae - Banana, Strawberry, and Mango Soft Serve Fruit with fresh berries, bananas, pineapple and mango
- A Breakfast Berry Sundae - Strawberry Soft Serve Fruit with raisins, granola and whole O's
Or just make up your own delicious treat!
The Soft Serve Fruit Co. will be at the 2012 NYU Strawberry Festival on May 4th from 12:30-4! Stop by and say hi!
