About Strawberries

Strawberries are one of the lowest-calorie fruits you can eat, with just 49 calories per cup of sliced berries. Their combination of sweetness, high water content, and nutrient density makes them a favorite for anyone tracking calories or trying to lose weight.

Strawberries are exceptionally high in vitamin C — one cup provides about 149% of the daily recommended intake, more than an entire orange. Vitamin C is critical for immune function, collagen synthesis, iron absorption, and antioxidant defense. Strawberries also contain manganese, folate, and potassium in meaningful amounts.

The bright red color of strawberries comes from anthocyanins, the same antioxidant class found in blueberries and red grapes. These compounds have been studied for their role in reducing inflammation, protecting the heart, and supporting brain health. Strawberries also contain ellagic acid, a polyphenol with anti-cancer properties in laboratory studies.

With only 3 grams of fiber and 7 grams of natural sugar per cup, strawberries fit comfortably into most diets including keto (in small amounts), low-carb, and calorie-restricted plans. BasedHealth makes it easy to log exactly how many you ate.
