...the nutritional value of strawberries and full strawberry nutrition information...
Strawberries provide a rich source of phenols and are an excellent source of vitamin C.
Strawberries are rich in phenols and particularly a class of phenols called anthocyanins. The anthocyanins in strawberries give the fruit its red colour and acts as a powerful antioxidant that protect the bodies' cells from free radical damage.
Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin C which protects the cells and tissues from free radical damage, thereby helping to prevent cancer. Vitamin C also helps with dietary iron absorption.
Strawberries are also a very good source of manganese which plays a part in bone health and helps to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Manganese also helps the thyroid gland to function properly and protects the cells from free radical damage.
Strawberries also contain good levels of niacin (vitamin B3)
which helps to stabilise blood sugar and helps to lower
cholesterol
. B3 also helps your body to process fats.
One cup of strawberries contains around 53 calories.
