Health Benefits:
Strawberries are packed with vitamin C and antioxidants, vitamin A, and vitamin B9 (folic acid) and are also rich in trace elements such as potassium, which is good for the nervous system; calcium for the bones; magnesium for stress, and iron. These dried fruits contain up to 5 times more minerals than fresh ones.
Strawberries may also help stimulate the body's natural defenses, particularly the immune system against chronic diseases. They have anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties and studies have shown that they may help reduce the onset of cardiovascular disease and cholesterol.
