ScienceDaily: Strawberry Daiquiris: The Extra-healthy Cocktail? — I’ll drink to this story!
Strawberries are good for you, but serving them in daiquiri form may make them even healthier, scientists show.
While exploring ways to help keep strawberries fresh during storage, researchers from Thailand and the US discovered that treating the berries with alcohol led to an increase in antioxidant capacity and free radical scavenging activity within the fruit. While such a boost helped the berries resist decay, the same compounds would also be expected to make the strawberries healthier to eat.
