Strawberries
Strawberries are a high source of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Anthocyanins in strawberries give them their red hue.
Taking anthocyanin pills reduced the amount of LDL cholesterol in people with elevated cholesterol, according to a 2016 study. Anthocyanins may help prevent heart disease by decreasing LDL cholesterol levels.
Strawberries can be eaten raw as a snack or in salads and other dishes. Strawberries are often included in baked goods, but because they’re not particularly healthy and aren’t a good option for dieters, they’re rarely nutritious.
