Strawberry Nutrition:

Strawberries are not only good to eat, they are also "good for us." They are an especially tasty source of vitamin C (ascorbic acid). In fact, one cup of fresh strawberries provides about 88 milligrams of ascorbic acid, which more than meets the Recommended Daily Dietary allowance of 45 milligrams for the average adult. Vitamin C is well retained when the strawberries are handled carefully. Capping, injuring, cutting, or juicing, however, will reduce the vitamin content.

Strawberries are low in calories: one cup of unsweetened strawberries has only 55 calories. So if you are on a reducing diet, use strawberries to add flavor, food value, and pleasure to meals. You can even eat some as a between-meals snack.

One 140 g serving of eight (8) medium-sized strawberries has:

· 140% of the Daily Value for vitamin C

· 12% of the Daily Value for dietary fiber

· Only 7 grams of sugar (lowest among the top-selling fruits)

· A source of folate and potassium

· Only 45 calories
