Strawberry snack balls are perfect winter treat and take just 10 minutes to make

Summertime may be the prime season for British strawberries, but these beloved berries aren't just a warm-weather treat - they can also spice up your winter recipes. Though typically harvested from late May to September, with peak season in the months of June through August, these seeded red gems are available year-round thanks to consistent supermarket stocking. Imported strawberries from regions like Morocco and Egypt are an off-season staple, yet they sometimes lack the sumptuously juicy quality of the UK's summer bounty.
Spearheading an ambitious campaign to ensure Britain's strawberry supply during the chillier times is The Summer Berry Company (TSBC). Aiming to promote health and satisfy those berry cravings all year long, TSBC's glasshouse in Chichester, West Sussex, becomes a haven for winter strawberry cultivation.
Jack Darnes, commercial director at TSBC, said: "The controlled environment allows us to produce really high-quality strawberries for everyone, especially during the winter." Touted as a sweet addition to healthy diets, strawberries pack a punch with vitamin C, folate, and fibre content.
And if you're wondering how to incorporate these winter strawberries into your diet, look no further than vibrant snack balls - a quick, sweet fix that works equally well for a healthy breakfast or to keep your eating habits on track. They're a breeze to whip up in 10 minutes, adding an extra burst of fruity delight and nutritional value to your day, reports the Express.
