Strawberries are considered to have more vitamin C than many citrus fruits. They contain large amounts of elements that are very necessary for our health. Their organic acids have disinfectant and anti-inflammatory effects. Strawberries are rich in water, incorporating diuretic properties, which is very good for people who want to lose weight and have a tendency to retain fluids. This diuretic effect also benefits those suffering from kidney stones, hypertension, and uric acid issues. They provide significant amounts of salicylates, which are very positive for preventing cardiovascular diseases, degenerative diseases, and cancer. We cannot overlook the important amount of folic acid they have: one-sixth of the recommended daily amount for every 200 grams of this fruit. This compound is essential for pregnant women, as it promotes cell multiplication. Let us remember that strawberries constitute an important aid in weight loss diets. They have an excellent flavor and are light, as 85% of their composition is water. In fact, their caloric intake is very low: only 37 calories per 100 grams. In 100 grams of strawberries, we find 0.7 grams of protein, 7 grams of carbohydrates, and only 0.3 grams of fat. Their main value is the high content of vitamin C: 100 grams cover the recommended daily amount.
