Strawberries are one of the most popular fruits around the world. Despite their name, strawberries are actually aggregate fruits rather than berries, according to botanical classification. The little "seeds" that you see on the outside of strawberries are the actual fruits, tucked away in a juicy pulp. Moreover, this pulp is high in anthocyanin pigments, which give strawberries their iconic bright red color.
Strawberries are high in essential vitamins and minerals, such as dietary fiber, protein, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, iron, copper and vitamins A, B6, B9, C, E and K. Strawberries are an amazing source of antioxidants, including ellagic acid, procyanidins, ellagitannins and pelargonidins. According to a study published in the Journal of Nutrition, strawberries are regarded as one of the best sources of phenolic antioxidants, with antioxidant levels up to 11 times higher than many other fruits.
Organic strawberries are a great source of antioxidants that can help protect your body from damage caused by free radicals and support optimal health and well-being. Our Groovy Bee® Organic Freeze-Dried Strawberry Slices are non-GMO, non-China, certified Kosher and organic.
Health Benefits of Organic Strawberries**
Support healthy immune function
Strawberries are an excellent natural source of vitamin C, which helps maintain a healthy immune system. According to a study published in the National Library of Medicine, strawberries also contain iron, potassium, magnesium, manganese, zinc, folate and vitamin K, among many other immune-supporting nutrients.
Support healthy cognitive function
According to a study published in the Annals of Neurology, eating strawberries regularly can help support healthy cognitive function in older adults. This benefit is most likely due to the strawberry's high concentrations of a compound called fisetin and other beneficial nutrients, such as manganese, flavonoids and anthocyanins.
Support healthy cardiovascular function
Organic strawberries are renowned as a heart-healthy snack because they are a great source of fiber, potassium, magnesium and folate, among other heart health-supporting nutrients. Additionally, strawberries have been shown to help maintain healthy blood sugar and cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range.
Support healthy digestive function
A cup of fresh organic strawberries contains roughly three grams of dietary fiber per cup. The high fiber content in strawberries can support a healthy digestive system. Moreover, these dietary fibers can help nourish beneficial bacteria in your gut microbiome, which can support optimal digestive function and regular bowel movements.
Support healthy eye function
Strawberries have a high concentration of antioxidant plant compounds that can protect your eyes from oxidative damage caused by free radicals and support optimal eye health. Some of these antioxidants include quercetin, flavonoids and vitamin C. Regular consumption of strawberries can support healthy eye function.
Support the body’s natural cleansing processes
According to a study published in the National Library of Medicine, strawberries are a great source of soluble and insoluble fiber, vitamins A and C and other nutrients that can support your body's natural detoxification processes. Moreover, these nutrients can also support a healthy digestive system.
Support the growth of healthy skin
Strawberries contain high levels of vitamin C, anthocyanins and other antioxidants that help protect your skin from free radical damage.
Naturally uplift your mood
Like other vividly colored berries, strawberries are rich in antioxidant flavonoids, which can positively affect your mood. Consuming these flavonoid-rich strawberries regularly can help support your body’s natural production of serotonin, which is sometimes referred to as the "feel-good hormone."
