Taste Test: Strawberry Yogurt

Strawberry is a classic yogurt flavor but there's such a huge range in how strawberry-y these yogurts actually taste. Some have the fresh, real berry chunks swirled in; others are more artificially-flavored and sodapop-sweet. We tried 13 yogurt varieties to find the best fat-free, lowfat, and full-fat varieties.

Snapshots from Sweden: Strawberry Season

As summer approaches in Sweden, so does Sweden's strawberry (jordgubbar) season, and thus the season of, "Eat As Many Swedish Strawberries As You Can."

I've been doing the Fage thing—the kind with the little side "handle" filled with preserves, but nothing beats fresh fruit.
