Strawberries outdo oranges in vitamin C

Most people eat strawberries because they taste great. But strawberries are packed with great nutrition - everything from folate to fiber to phytochemicals. Just eight strawberries have more vitamin C than an orange and offer an abundance of antioxidants.

Strawberries are an excellent source of fiber, potassium and folic acid, a very special vitamin naturally designed to prevent birth defects and keep the heart healthy. Best of all, strawberries have only 50 calories in a one-cup serving and no cholesterol or saturated fats.
