Tag: Dehydrated strawberries

According to the USDA, a serving of fresh strawberries contains high levels of vitamin C, but what is the nutritional value of dehydrated strawberries after the drying process? The process concentrates nutrients, resulting in a portable snack rich in antioxidants, fiber, and certain minerals, but also with a higher sugar and calorie density.

A 100g serving of fresh strawberries contains about 30 calories, but the same weight of dehydrated strawberries can pack up to ten times that amount due to the removal of water. These long-lasting snacks offer concentrated nutrients, but their healthfulness depends heavily on preparation and moderation.
