One serving of eight medium strawberries contains 84 milligrams of Vitamin C and a boost against colds and flu, says a U.S. expert.
Considered a superfood, strawberries are loaded with nutrients, are low in sugar, and contain more Vitamin C than oranges, according to Dr. Navindra Seeram of the University of California Los Angeles Center for Human Nutrition.
Most people associate vitamin C with oranges, but if you look at oranges versus strawberries, ounce per ounce, strawberries actually contain more vitamin C than oranges, says Seeram.
