Strawberry Festival at Wisconsin

By Mara Hernandez-Capili

"Strawberry Fields Forever"- just as the famous lyrics of the great band "the Beatles". The fruit itself will be forever being a favorite tasty treat for everyone. This Fruit comes from the family Rosaceae, did you know that scientist don't consider this as a fruit but a false fruit.

This simply indicates that the fruit actually is not from the plants ovaries but the part that houses the ovaries. It first originated in the European continent and for some accident or let's says blessed twist of fate spread across the upper part of the United States of America.

Truly a treat that is also healthy. Strawberry is enjoyed in many ways. It is usually eaten as it is just washed it chill and ready to serve. Some like it as a milk shake the blend it and put some milk and ice and then viola instant treat. We also have wines from this, they ferment the fruit and it comes out as a very nice alcoholic drink. You can avail it at stores around you and know what I mean. It is very nutritious it contains vitamin b, vitamin c and even calcium.

But guess what you won't know the difference, if there is any. This is available in fairly cold climates and it has a season but for off season they cultivate it or grow it in green houses. Consumers cannot stop looking for it so scientist devised a way to grow it out of its normal season.

So come bring your family and enjoy a wonderful mouth satisfying time. This august of 2009 a strawberry Festival will be held. A lot of strawberry producers will be out to showcase their products based from strawberry. It will be surely a feast for all of your senses. Eating strawberries is a lot of fun!
