Strawberries are very high in antioxidant activity and are extremely rich in vitamin C that helps to boost the immune system. They also contain other antioxidant phenolic plant chemicals such as antyocyanins and ellagic acid which can block cancer cells. When choosing strawberries, look for the plump and glossy berries. The dull ones are usually past their best nutritional life. Smaller strawberries tend to have higher levels of ellagic acid concentrated in the outer layer and they have more flavor.
