The Health Benefits of Strawberries
Strawberries aren’t just tasty, they’re good for you too! These sweet red berries pack a serious punch of vitamin C, even more than oranges. They’re full of antioxidants that help your body fight off damage from everyday stress. Strawberries also contain fiber for healthy digestion and potassium that’s great for your heart. Some studies show people who eat strawberries regularly might have lower blood pressure and cholesterol. While our strawberry crunch cake is definitely a treat, I like knowing the strawberries add a little nutritional boost to my dessert! So go ahead and enjoy those strawberry flavors, your taste buds and your body will thank you.
