4 Sweet Reasons to Love Organic Strawberries:
1) In a Washington State University study from September, organic strawberries were found to not only taste better than their conventional counterparts, but also had a longer shelf life, deeper, brighter color, significantly higher antioxidant and vitamin C contents and left behind healthier soil.
2) They may help brighten your smile… on the cheap! According to Health.com, one ripe strawberry plus half a teaspoon of baking powder = a natural teeth whitener that could help buff away stains.
3) For the health of it – strawberries are packed with more powerful anti-aging vitamin C per serving than oranges or grapefruit AND they earn a top 10 spot on the ANDI (Aggregate Nutrient Density Index) score for produce. An ANDI score shows the nutrient density of a food calculated by evaluating an extensive range of micronutrients, including vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals and antioxidant capacities.
4) Buying organic means supporting producers who are committed to good health, quality foods and sustainable farming practices.

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
