March 21 California Strawberry Day

California Strawberry Day is observed on March 21st.

You celebrate, the delicious taste of summer, strawberries are also good sources of potassium, fiber, folic acid and vitamin C. They are also low in calories, with no fat and no cholesterol.

Strawberries are grown from San Diego all the way up to San Francisco, about 500 miles of producers -- making the season nearly year round from January through September.

It's not a huge surprise that California harvests the most strawberries in the US, so it's only fitting that the state has its very own Strawberry Day on March 21 that the rest of the country should observe with profound awe and respect.
