Strawberry Mousse

Few of our friends went Strawberry Picking over the weekend and got us a huge bowl of fresh strawberries. Every time I get strawberries in huge quantities, I end up losing half of them as you cant store them for more than 2 days. So, this time I made a puree out of it immediately and stored it in the refrigerator. Hoping that it would work out and I would be able to relish them for longer this time....

Strawberries are very rich in fibre content and nutritional value. Did you know that around 5-7 strawberries would contain more Vitamin-C than one whole Orange??!!!? Studies have also shown that cultivated strawberries and the phytochemicals from strawberries reduce the risk of cancer!!!! So...... Eat strawberries and stay healthy!! :)
