Nutritional values

Strawberries are packed with vitamin C, which supports the immune system and cell protection, while dark chocolate contributes a considerable amount of fiber and antioxidants. 

Buy organic strawberries. Conventional products, especially in the early season, often contain high levels of harmful substances like pesticides or fertilizer residues. No Cardamom on hand? Try a pinch of cayenne or cinnamon, or forgo the spice altogether.
