Apart from being delicious, strawberries are among the most nutritious fruits out there. They are packed with antioxidants called anthocyanins, which give them their red color.
As well as causing the beautiful and vibrant color, these substances have also been found to lower cholesterol and insulin levels after a meal. In the case of type 2 diabetes, anthocyanins also improve blood sugar and lower the risk of heart disease.
One cup of strawberries includes 49 calories and 11 grams of carbs, three of which are fiber. In addition, one serving delivers more than 100% of the RDI for vitamin C, which is also a promoter of heart health.
