   Strawberries have grown wild for millennia throughout the world. These berries, with their tempting looks and spectacular taste, secured their place in the list of favorite fruits a long time ago.

Strawberries have the common scientific name of Fragaria, but there are different suffixes for different varieties, such as Fragaria Vesca for wild strawberry, and Fragaria Orientalis for Eastern Strawberries, among others. Today, there are over 600 varieties of strawberries that all differ in flavor, size and texture.

Strawberries grow in bushes and are one of the most delicious seasonal fruits that also boost your health. Strawberries are available year round, but peak strawberry season is April through July.

The strawberry is called ‘the queen of fruits’ in Asian countries because it’s packed with health benefits. These juicy heart-shaped delights have much more to offer beyond sweetness and flavor.

 

Health Benefits of Strawberries

 

Helps burn stored fat

The red coloring contains anthocyanins, which stimulate the burning of stored fat. When a group of animals was fed a high-fat diet along with anthocyanins, they gained 24 percent less weight than the animals eating the high-fat diet without added anthocyanins. (The Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry)

 

Boost short term memory

The anthocyanins boost short term memory by 100 percent in eight weeks. (The Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry)

 

Low in Calories – High in Fiber

One cup of fresh fruit contains only 54 calories.

 

Ease Inflammation

Strawberries lower blood levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a signal of inflammation in the body. In a study, women who ate 16 or more strawberries per week were 14 percent less likely to have elevated levels of CRP. (Harvard School of Public Health.)

 

Lower cardiovascular disease

Flavonoids — which are responsible for the colour and flavour of strawberries — lower the risk for heart disease.

 

Promote bone health

Strawberries contain potassium, vitamin K and magnesium which are important for bone health.

 

Anti-aging properties

Strawberries are filled with biotin, which helps build strong hair and nails. They also contain the antioxidant ellagic acid, which protects the elastic fibers in our skin to prevent sagging.

 

Good for weight loss

The compound nitrate found promotes blood flow and oxygen in our body, which is great for weight loss.

 

Promote eye health

Eating three or more servings of fruit like strawberries may lower the risk of macular degeneration, a condition resulting in vision loss. (Archives of Ophthalmology)
