Dried Strawberries

Strawberries are both delicious and nutritious, but they don’t stay in season all that long!            
If you’re tired of not being able to get your favorite fruit in the fall and winter months, you may want to consider dehydrating your strawberries to extend their benefits.

Benefits of Eating Dried Strawberries
When reviewing the health benefits of strawberries, it’s common to wonder if there’s a difference between dried versus fresh. 
When drying fruit, the fluid is removed, but the nutrients are retained. This means you can enjoy the same health benefits from both fresh and dried strawberries.           
1. They Can Lower Bad Cholesterol       
One of the benefits of strawberries is that they can help to lower cholesterol naturally.
Strawberries contain ellagic acid and flavonoids that can decrease bad cholesterol levels in your blood.
2. They’re a Healthy Alternative to Candy – Yet Just As Satisfying     
The good news is that strawberries are naturally sweet.
They are full of flavor and the dried strawberries are a great way to satisfy your sweet craving without adding extra sugar or many additional calories to your diet.
3. They’re High in Vitamin C (Immune Boost!)
Strawberries are a rich source of Vitamin C with just one serving providing 40% of your daily required intake.
Not only is Vitamin C an essential nutrient, it’s also a water-soluble vitamin. This means that unlike other vitamins, you have to get enough in your diet on a daily basis.         
4. They’re  Rich with Anti-Inflammatory Antioxidants
Inflammation is a chronic problem that can occur to anyone.
However, the antioxidant and phytochemical compounds found in strawberries play an important role in reducing inflammation.
One study found that women who ate just 16 strawberries a week had a 14% decrease in inflammatory markers when tested.         
5. They Support Healthy Bowel Habits (Thank You, Fiber)
Having a healthy digestive system isn’t always easy and much of your system depends on your fiber intake.         
6. They Provide a Tasty Source of Minerals Some People Are Deficient In
Strawberries are also a good source of some minerals.
You may not think about your intake of manganese or potassium but it’s not uncommon to be deficient. Both of these play an essential role in regulating normal cellular function in your body.
You can find them in other foods as well, but dried strawberries are an easy and tasty way to get some in your diet.         
7. They Encourage a Healthy Heart
Keeping your heart healthy over time involves eating a diet that’s rich in fiber, antioxidants, and phytonutrients.
One study found that eating strawberries significantly reduced the risk of a heart attack.         
8. They May Help Prevent Wrinkles     
The nutrient composition of strawberries naturally works as an anti-aging fighter, helping to support collagen production.
It also contributes to your body’s anti-inflammatory response which may help you to avoid wrinkles over time.
