Strawberries are a favorite summer fruit. They appear in everything from yogurt to desserts and salads. They're a low-glycemic food, meaning they have little effect on blood sugar. This makes them a tasty option for people looking to control or lower their glucose levels.

The vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in strawberries provide important health benefits. For example, strawberries are rich in vitamin C and polyphenols, antioxidant compounds that may help prevent some diseases.
