SALINAS, Calif. – Today, Naturipe® Farms officially launched its first Very Berry Summer Trivia contest on their Facebook page with the intent of spreading awareness about the health benefits of fresh berries. Trivia questions will be based off of nutritional and historical fun facts about strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries found on Naturipe’s website: www.naturipefarms.com.
With fresh berries at their peak in the summer months, the nutritional benefits of these superfruits are making headlines. Naturipe® hopes to highlight the benefits of berries to promote the fact that eating healthy can be delicious.
Each Trivia Tuesday, the brand will pose a berry trivia question to consumers on the Naturipe® Facebook page. Every following Monday, one prize of five coupons redeemable for free packages of fresh Naturipe® berries and a $50 American Express gift card will be awarded to a randomly selected user with the correct answer. The contest begins Tuesday, July 24th and ends on August 20.
To get the public thinking about the contest, Naturipe® offered the following fun berry trivia facts. For example:
• Just eight strawberries have more vitamin C than a medium orange
• Blueberries are thought to be helpful in improving memory function and healthy aging
• Ellagitannins, a family of compounds almost exclusive to the raspberry, are reported to have anti-cancer activity and contribute to the raspberry’s antioxidant power
• Just a half-cup serving of raw blackberries has about the same fiber content as a three-fourths cup of brown rice
Naturipe® is devoted to engaging with customers on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Pinterest. This social media integration helps Naturipe® share product information and usage tips with consumers, promoting interaction with growers by allowing consumers to ask questions and share their own berry pictures and comments.
