Strawberries

A Pre-Christmas favourite, Gourmet strawberries are large and sweet and very fresh.  Grown and packed in West Auckland we can bring you superior and fresh strawberries that taste just as amazing as they look.

Strawberries contain large quantities of phytonutrients or bioflavenoids including, the red colour anthocyanins, phenols, as well as Vitamin C, K and the B group Vitamins.  These phytonutrients act in combination to provide strong antioxidant activity which helps to minimize age related declining function in certain organs and tissues.  Vitamin C is a well known antioxidant which can help the immune system.

The fibre in a cup (150g) of strawberries represents about 12% of your recommended daily intake.

Strawberries contain small quantities of Ellagic acid; a potent anti cancer compound.
