16 mouth-watering ways to use strawberries
Andre Martin

The biggest victims of the strawberry needle crisis are Australia’s farmers, with consumers shunning the fruit and forcing growers to dump tonnes of unwanted produce.

In light of the crisis, BHG is throwing its support behind Australian growers with a round-up of our most mouth-watering strawberry recipes. You can help, too!

N.B. Make sure you wash and thoroughly chop all strawberries well before using them.
