Strawberry Nutrition

This little red-heart shaped fruit really packs in the nutritional punch! Strawberries are naturally fat, sodium, and cholesterol-free. Also high in vitamin C, folate and potassium which helps the body metabolize protein. Just 8 strawberries a day provide 20% of the folic acid your body needs on a daily basis. Those same 8 strawberries a day may reduce the trist of some cancers, heart disease as well as improve memory. Strawberries are also naturally low in sugar.

Talk about a Nutritional Super Food — AND they taste so yummy!!

Strawberries are available year-round, with about 88% of the domestically grown strawberries being supplied from California.

Check out the California Strawberry Commission for more great information on strawberries.
