Strawberries are mostly water, about 91 grams per 100, which is why a whole cup of halves weighs 152 grams yet delivers under 50 calories. The carbs are mainly natural sugars at 7.43 grams per cup, balanced by 3 grams of fibre, and there is almost no fat or protein. What they genuinely stand out for is vitamin C, with 58.8 milligrams covering 74% of the daily reference, plus manganese at 19% of the daily reference.

A normal portion is one cup of halves, easy to eat as-is for a light snack or dessert that satisfies a sweet tooth without a big calorie load. It works well before a workout for quick energy, or alongside yogurt, nuts, or cheese to add protein and fat for a more filling bite. There is no real caveat here; just note that the sugar is natural, so it fits fine in most days, but you would need other foods to meet protein needs.
