Every year on May 20, National Pick Strawberries Day is observed in the United States Of America.
National Pick Strawberries Day is a joyful day that everyone, including children, can eat, enjoy and celebrate this delicious fruit.
There's no evidence of when the First National Pick Strawberries Day began. On antiquated occasions, wild strawberries were used for therapeutic and remedial purposes.
It's not known who first started National Pick Strawberries Day.
This berry originated in Brittany, France, where it was first cultivated in a garden in the 1750s as a cross between two distinct types of wild strawberry or red berries. Long before this, however, as early as the 14th century, strawberries were found in the wild. This red fruit is viewed as especially healthy due to the amount of folic acid found in this type of fruit. They contain barely any fat or calories and are high in fiber, vitamin C, and potassium.
There are no unique traditions or rituals to mark this day. But you can celebrate it by collecting fresh strawberries! Visit your favorite local U-pick berry farm or look for one. If you don't have one nearby, this might make for a great day trip. Berry picking is fun for both kids and adults, so bring some friends or the whole family or try out some delicious recipes.
You can celebrate National Pick Strawberries Day by, you guessed it, picking some strawberries! After you've picked your strawberries, to keep them fresh either store them in the refrigerator or on the counter for a few days. Make sure to remove any that are bruised and put the rest in an open-air basket or colander to maintain good airflow.
