About Strawberry mochi

Strawberry Mochi is a traditional Japanese delicacy that combines two main ingredients: soft, glutinous rice dough (mochi) and fresh strawberries. Originating in Japan, this dessert is a popular seasonal treat often enjoyed during the spring when strawberries are at their peak freshness. Nutritionally, strawberry mochi primarily contains carbohydrates from the rice dough and natural sugars, vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants from the strawberries. It is relatively low in protein and fat, and its calorie content depends on the serving size and any additional ingredients such as sweet red bean paste or cream. While its nutrient profile can vary, strawberry mochi offers a modest source of vitamins and minerals when consumed in moderation.

Health Benefits

• Rich in vitamin C from strawberries, which supports immune health and skin repair.
• Contains dietary fiber from strawberries, aiding in digestion and promoting gut health.
• Offers antioxidants like anthocyanins from strawberries, which may help reduce oxidative stress and protect against chronic diseases.
