Bord Bia launches “Celebrate Strawberry Season”

The ‘Celebrate Strawberry Season’ campaign, by Bord Bia, the Irish Soft Fruit Growers Association and the IFA has kicked off, celebrating the season of the much-loved summer fruit. This year’s campaign encourages consumers to consider strawberries as a healthy snack option, since they are low in calories and low in sugar, making them an ideal alternative snack for all ages. Plus, the campaign says that an 80g portion of strawberries contains 80% of one’s daily vitamin C requirement. For more information, visit bordbia.ie/strawberries.

To enter, consumers are being encouraged to create a short food video or recipe about cheese. Visit www.thecompletenatural.ie or www.ndc.ie for more information.
