Give it to me Raw - Raw Food Community

I've always felt guilty about that little green star and the small juicy red flesh it held onto when I ripped off the strawberry top...But what could I do? It just wasn't appetizing to eat alone and looked kinda weird as the topping to a cookie with part of the red strawberry meat still attached.

I recently heard though that they are full of Vitamin C and other nutrients (of course! they're green right? ;) ) and they best way to easily incorporate them and reduce waste is to add them to your daily smoothie!!

What a great idea right??

I'm munching on a few now and saving the tops for tomorrow's smoothie. Yum.

Much love,
Natanya

For breakfast breakfast this morning I blended up a lb of strawberries and poured it over chunks of golden and green kiwi. Very pleasing visually to see tiny green specs from the tops in the pink 'soup', not to mention delicious!

Blended strawberries, and tops, is also a great salad dressing all by itself. I use that occasionally. Delish!!

Good idea, thanks!

Why not eat the whole strawberry? No reason to throw away part of a perfectly yummy fruit. I've been eating the tops for a while now, even before I went raw.

Kinda reminds me of that story of the woman who always cut more than was necessary off her Thanksgiving turkeys or something because its what her mother did who did that because its what HER mother did and she did it because her pan was too small!!! Suddenly, when we start to question illogical traditions we become able to think for ourselves again! silly us..
