Strawberry and Gabby

Lately, Gabby is into strawberry. It all started many weeks ago, I came back with a box of Korean strawberries. As most of you know, Korean strawberries are mostly ‘naturally’ sweet and never sour. Hence, Princess Hon is hooked ever since. She can’t take her eyes off the strawberry. Whenever, I see one, I would try to get a box home for her. Not on every occasion but whenever I can.

For the past 2 weeks, we were having strawberry short cake from Four Leaves almost every Saturday and Sunday. Gabby would take a few bites of the cake but she would eat every single pieces of strawberries (halve and slices) all by herself. The remaining was down into our stomachs. Since then, I can picture myself eating another piece of cake anymore especially strawberry short cake!!!

For those who know me long enough, I’m very into Gabby’s diet. Some would even say I’m obsessed. Well, blame it on the years that I took Food and Nutrition as my ‘O’ level subject but I do believe that diet do play apart in our future health condition. I would want Gabby to have a better eating habit.

Anyway, I did some research on the web to find out the nutritive value of strawberry and here are the findings:
Has the ability to remove harmful toxin in the blood.
A rich source of folic acid
Highly rated as skin cleansing food
Removes tartar from the teeth and strengthens and heals the gums.

Who say only an apple a day keeps the doctor away, so now we should also include strawberry in our diet too. More strawberries, anyone……
