Dried Strawberries
A fruit like no other

Savor the vibrant flavor of our Dried Strawberries, sourced from a family farm in California. These strawberries are dried naturally, without any added oils, sweeteners, or preservatives, ensuring a pure, naturally delicious snack.

A Fruit Like No Other

The strawberry is a unique fruit, belonging to the rose family and the only fruit with seeds on the outside. These tiny seeds are a hallmark of the strawberry’s intricate design, showcasing its delicate nature. Our strawberries are not only special in their cultivation but also in the powerful nutrients they deliver. Our farmers use an innovative drying method, requiring 12 pounds of fresh strawberries to make just one pound of dried strawberries, preserving the fruit’s essential nutrients while intensifying its rich flavor.

Health Benefits of Strawberries

Packed with fiber, folate, and antioxidants, strawberries are a great addition to any diet, especially for heart health. They’re known to help lower cholesterol, support blood pressure regulation, and are rich in vitamin B, which strengthens the cardiac muscle and improves overall heart functionality.

  • Cognitive and Motor Health: Studies suggest that strawberries play a role in slowing the decline of age-related cognitive and motor skills, making them a key food for longevity.

  • Dental Health: The natural acid in strawberries helps to dissolve dental tartar and improve gum health, making them a beneficial snack for your smile.

  • Rich in Antioxidants: Strawberries are high in ellagic acid, polyphenolics, and flavonoids, all of which help neutralize free radical damage, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and supporting the body's natural defense mechanisms.

"The health benefits of strawberries are determined by the abundance of biologically-active compounds that support the natural resistance of the organism, including ellagic acid, polyphenolics, mainly flavonoids, which help neutralize free radical damage, thereby reducing the risk of the development of cardiovascular disease." – Acta Horticulturae

"Strawberries are a good source of natural antioxidants and antioxidant enzymes which provide protection against harmful free radicals and play an important role in protecting human health." – Springer

Strawberries are low in calories, containing just 32 calories per half a cup, while still offering a powerhouse of nutrients. Eating strawberries has been associated with a reduced risk of chronic diseases, improved heart health, lower blood sugar levels, and even cancer prevention.

  • Cancer Prevention: Studies show that strawberries can help inhibit tumor formation in both animal models of mouth cancer and in human liver cancer cells.

  • Blood Sugar Regulation: Strawberries have been shown to slow glucose digestion and reduce spikes in glucose and insulin, making them a great choice for those looking to manage their blood sugar.

"Eating strawberries is associated with a reduced risk of many chronic diseases. Strawberries may improve heart health, lower blood sugar levels, and help prevent cancer." – Healthline

Inflammation Reduction with Berries

Berries, especially strawberries, are renowned for their ability to reduce inflammation. Chronic inflammation is linked to numerous diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers, and the bioactive compounds in strawberries help combat this through their potent antioxidant activity. The flavonoids and polyphenols in strawberries help to regulate the inflammatory response in the body, which in turn contributes to better overall health and protection against chronic disease.

Multiple studies have shown that the consumption of berries like strawberries can help reduce inflammatory biomarkers in the body. These effects are largely due to the high levels of vitamin C and antioxidants, which support immune function and reduce oxidative stress.

"Strawberries have been shown to help reduce inflammation through their high levels of antioxidant polyphenols." – PubMed
