Use only small plain ripe pieces and avoid sweetened strawberry products. Check labels before sharing flavored or frozen desserts.
Strawberries are soft red berries sold fresh, frozen, and freeze-dried. They provide water, fiber, vitamin C, and natural sugars.
Commonly found in fruit trays, smoothie bowls, cereals, and dessert toppings. Leaves and stems are fibrous and less digestible than ripe flesh.
Processed strawberry products often add sugar, chocolate, dairy, or xylitol. Jams, syrups, and sweetened dessert cups are very different from plain berries.
