About Strawberry cream
Strawberry cream is a dessert made by blending strawberries—native to temperate climates like Europe and North America—with cream or whipped dairy components, often sweetened. Its origins are tied to European cuisine, where strawberries have been historically popular since Roman times. The dish is typically high in carbohydrates due to natural fruit sugars and added sweeteners, along with saturated fats from dairy cream. Strawberries themselves are low in calories and rich in vitamins C and K, whereas cream contributes calcium and energy-density. Strawberry cream is popular for its balance of tart fruit flavor and rich texture, serving as both a standalone dessert and as a topping for cakes or pastries.
Health Benefits
- Rich in vitamin C from strawberries, supporting immune health and collagen formation.
- Contains calcium from dairy cream, which helps maintain healthy bones and teeth.
- Strawberries provide dietary fiber, aiding digestion and promoting gut health.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Consume promptly as the fresh fruit oxidizes quickly when combined with cream.
Common Questions About Strawberry cream Nutrition
What is the nutritional content of strawberry cream?
Strawberry cream typically contains around 200-250 calories per serving (approx. 1/2 cup), depending on the recipe. It is relatively low in protein, offering about 2-3 grams per serving, and the sugar content can range from 15 to 25 grams. It may contain small amounts of vitamin C from the strawberries but is predominantly high in fats and sugars due to the cream.
Is strawberry cream compatible with a keto diet?
Strawberry cream is generally not ideal for a keto diet as traditional recipes can contain significant amounts of sugar. However, keto-friendly versions can be made by substituting regular sugar with keto-approved sweeteners like erythritol or stevia and using heavy cream without added sugar.
What are the health benefits and concerns of eating strawberry cream?
Strawberries provide antioxidants like vitamin C, which supports immune health, while heavy cream offers fats that can support energy needs. However, strawberry cream can be high in sugar and saturated fat, which could pose concerns related to weight gain and cardiovascular health if consumed in excess.
How much strawberry cream should I eat in one serving?
A typical serving size of strawberry cream is about 1/2 cup. This portion allows for enjoyment without excessive calorie, fat, or sugar intake. For a healthier choice, consider using more strawberries and less cream or sugar-based additives.
How does strawberry cream compare to plain strawberries or whipped cream?
Strawberry cream is much higher in calories, sugar, and fat compared to plain strawberries, which are low in calories (about 50 calories per cup) and rich in fiber and vitamin C. Compared to plain whipped cream, strawberry cream provides more flavor and sweetness but has a similar fat content depending on the recipe.
