The Benefits of Strawberry Jam
Strawberries are a superfood with many health benefits. They are low in calories and high in fiber, making them a great addition to any diet. Strawberries are also rich in antioxidants, which help protect the body against free radicals and reduce inflammation. Additionally, strawberries contain vitamin C, which boosts the immune system and helps the body absorb iron.
When made into jam, strawberries retain many of their health benefits. However, traditional strawberry jam is often loaded with sugar, which can negate some of the health benefits.
