Strawberry is a fruit created by crossing two varieties of wild strawberries from North and South America. In Poland, strawberries are the undisputed king of the summer season. From a dietary perspective, strawberries are an absolute hit - 100 grams of the edible part of the fruit contains only 32 kilocalories (kcal). This is due to the fact that strawberries consist of over 90% pure water. They have an extremely low energy density, which means that we can eat a huge portion of them (e.g. half a kilogram is only 160 kcal), effectively filling the stomach with a negligible impact on the daily calorie balance. This makes strawberries an ideal base for desserts and cocktails on a reducing diet.
Our precise live strawberry calorie calculator allows you to quickly convert grams into glasses or punnets, along with calculating nutritional values and macronutrients.
Nutritional profile of strawberries - more vitamin C than in lemon
Despite their low calorie content, strawberries are a real vitamin bomb:
- Vitamin C:100g of fresh strawberries provides as much as 58.8 mg of vitamin C, which means that in this respect strawberries are ahead of lemons and oranges. One glass of fruit is enough to cover the daily requirement for this vitamin.
- Ellagic acid:It is an organic compound from the polyphenol group, abundantly present in strawberries. It has strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties and supports the neutralization of toxins in the liver.
- Potassium and magnesium:These minerals regulate heart function, support the nervous system and help prevent muscle cramps.
- Low glycemic index:Dietary fiber and water make sugars absorbed slowly.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How many calories are in one glass of strawberries?
A standard glass of strawberries (after removing the stems, weighs about 150 grams) provides only 48-50 kilocalories (kcal).
What is the glycemic index (GI) of strawberries?
The glycemic index of strawberries is low and amounts to 40. They also have a very low glycemic load, so they can be safely consumed by people with insulin resistance and diabetes.
Are strawberry stems edible?
Yes, the green strawberry stalks are completely edible and very healthy. They contain large amounts of chlorophyll (which helps purify the blood), vitamin C and antioxidants. They can be eaten whole or added to green smoothies after blending.
Why are strawberries a strong allergen?
Strawberries stimulate the secretion of histamine in the body, which in some people (especially children) causes allergic reactions such as hives, itching or abdominal pain. Allergies may also be aggravated by chemical spray residues, so the fruit should be washed very thoroughly before eating.
How to keep strawberries fresh longer?
Strawberries should be stored in the refrigerator in a flat dish so that they do not lie in a thick layer on top of each other. You should absolutely not wash them or remove the stems before putting them in the fridge - moisture accelerates the development of mold. Wash the fruit and peel the stalks immediately before eating.
