Benefits of Strawberries on a Gluten-Free Diet
One of the key reasons these gluten-free strawberry recipes should be prepared is because of all of the health benefits strawberries offer. From providing 110% of your daily vitamin C to being packed w with antioxidants shown to help prevent disease, strawberries are powerful.
In fact, the California Strawberry association launched a “Just 8-A-Day” campaign, highlighting the benefits of strawberries. Where 8 strawberries a day is the amount noted in research to provide benefits, step aside apples!
More specifically, strawberries are a good source of folate, one of the nutrients celiacs are at risk for deficiency with during healing. In fact, that’s one of the reasons anemia with celiac disease is so common.
Furthermore, folate is essential to support a health pregnancy, so making sure you’re getting enough of it (especially if you’re at risk for deficiency) is vital if you plan on getting pregnant with celiac disease.
Lastly, strawberries are good source of fiber on a gluten-free diet. Adding them, other fruits and vegetables, and gluten-free whole grains is a great way to make sure you’re balancing out your diet.
