1. Fight colds with strawberries: One serving of eight strawberries has more vitamin C than an orange – 110% of the recommended daily value.
2. Strawberries are packed with beneficial antioxidants and nutrients including potassium, folate, and fiber.
3. Strawberries offer a good amount of fiber, making them a weight-loss-friendly fruit. One cup of sliced strawberries offers 3.3 grams of fiber. Getting your fill of fiber makes you feel full longer, keeping hunger at bay, helping you consume fewer daily calories.
