Strawberries

Strawberries are a beloved member of the rose family, known for their vibrant red color and distinctive heart shape. Originating in Europe and now cultivated worldwide, they are most commonly associated with spring and summer harvests. Their flavor profile is a delightful balance of sweet and tart, with a fragrant aroma that evokes memories of fresh berry desserts. The texture of strawberries is juicy and succulent, with tiny seeds that add a subtle crunch. When cooked, strawberries release their natural juices and can break down to form a luscious sauce or preserve, enhancing both sweet and savory dishes with their bright flavor.

Fresh Jalapeño

Fresh jalapeños are medium-sized chili peppers known for their vibrant green color and mild to moderate heat. They offer a delightful balance of spice and vegetal freshness.
