MORE and MORE 



More and more the importance of vitamins in the diet is being recognized! 



More and more the high value of strawberries as source of Vitamin C — the Sunshine 

 Vitamin — is being proved. 



More and more the "fresh" strawberry season is being lengthened by quick freezing, 

 commercially and in home units. It's good to know that freeing has no material effect on 

 Vitamin C content of strawberries, even after six months of freezing storage (Geneva, N. Y. 

 Station). 



Here are some important figures (in milligrams) and comparisons on Vitamin C content 



per 100 grams of fruit: . v _
