Strawberry Recipe

Strawberries are delicious, low in calories (about 40 per cup), and very high in vitamin C. They are also a source of folate, potassium, riboflavin, and iron. Strawberries provide insoluble fibre, which helps prevent constipation, and pectin and other soluble fibres that help lower cholesterol. They also contain bioflavonoids, including red anthocyanin and ellagic acid, substances that may help prevent some cancers. Cooking does not destroy ellagic acid, so even strawberry desserts may be beneficial.
