Maintaining blood sugar balance
Strawberries, despite their sweet taste, do not have a negative effect on blood glucose. In fact, strawberries are among the nutrients recommended for people with diabetes. The fiber in dried strawberries also enables the body to separate sugars and starches sufficiently.
Reducing the risk of arthritis
Anthocyanin is among the countless benefits of strawberries. Anthocyanins are flavonoids that give strawberries their deep ruby color.

Cancer prevention
Dried strawberries are an incredibly significant source of vitamin C and fiber, both of which protect the body against disease. According to the American Institute for Cancer Research, strawberries contain ellagic acid, a chemical that can prevent skin, bladder, lung, and breast cancer.
