Strawberries are a fruit with very few calories (90% water) and an excellent source of vitamin C.
An average serving of strawberries, 150 g, contains 81 mg of vitamin C, far exceeding the recommended daily intake of this vitamin (60 mg), 228 mg of potassium that supports muscle function, and 30 mg of calcium that strengthens bones and teeth.
Strawberries stand out for their high antioxidant capacity, not only due to their anthocyanin content, but also to the presence of polyphenols and vitamin C, which help protect cells from oxidative damage.
This fruit also provides iron, vitamin A for the immune system and vitamin B9, which is very beneficial during pregnancy.
In addition to all these properties, strawberries are very versatile and can be consumed in many ways: fresh, in pastries, in salads, infused in water, in smoothies, among others. The main varieties of French strawberries are the Gariguette, the Ciflorette, the Charlotte and the “round varieties”.
