Strawberries have been my favorite fruit and berry for as long as I can remember.

Growing up, we would pick strawberries at a local farm and we would joke about how they shouldn’t weigh our baskets filled with berries – each child (me, my brother, and sister) should be weighed before we entered the picking field and after we left the picking field because we ATE more strawberries than we picked. Did you ever go strawberry picking and eat your way through the berry patch?

Strawberries don’t just taste fantastic, but they are really packed with some amazing nutrition benefits.

Nutrition Benefits of Strawberries:

• Packed with vitamin C, which is great for skin health and immune function, it is an antioxidant, and it’s an essential nutrient meaning we need to get this vitamin from the food we eat because our bodies don’t make it.
• Filled with fiber. One serving of strawberries has 3 grams of fiber and most people are not eating enough fiber each day (25-30g). Fiber helps us have healthy digestion and a healthy gut microbiome.
• Natural source of folate, which helps with energy metabolism, proper functioning of the brain and nervous system and so much more.
• This recent study found that older individuals who consumed more strawberries were less likely to develop Alzheimers.
