About Strawberry pie slice

Strawberry pie slice is a popular dessert originating from Western cuisine, often showcased in American and European culinary traditions. It features a flaky, buttery crust filled with fresh or cooked strawberries, sweetened and sometimes thickened with cornstarch or gelatin. A slice of strawberry pie typically provides carbohydrates from the crust and natural sugars from the strawberries. It is also a modest source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants from the fruit, though it may also contain added sugars and fats, depending on preparation. The dessert is often served with whipped cream or ice cream, enhancing its texture and appeal.

Health Benefits

• Rich in vitamin C: Strawberries provide about 58.8 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams, supporting immune health.
• Contains dietary fiber: Strawberries and the pie crust together offer fiber, aiding digestion and promoting gut health.
• Antioxidants from strawberries: Packed with anthocyanins and ellagic acid, they help combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains wheat (gluten), dairy, eggs (if used in crust), nuts (if included as decoration or in crust)

Suitable for: Vegetarian

Not suitable for: Vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free (if nuts are used)

Selection and Storage

Store strawberry pie in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, ensuring it is covered tightly to prevent drying out. For longer storage, freeze individual slices in an airtight container.

Common Questions About Strawberry pie slice Nutrition

How many calories and nutrients are in a slice of strawberry pie?

A standard slice of strawberry pie typically contains around 300-400 calories, depending on the recipe and crust. It usually provides about 2-4g of protein, 45-60g of carbohydrates, and 15-20g of fat. While it’s not a significant source of vitamins, strawberries provide vitamin C and some antioxidants in smaller amounts.

Can I eat strawberry pie on a keto diet?

Strawberry pie is usually not keto-friendly due to its high carbohydrate content, primarily from the pie crust and sugar in the filling. A single slice can contain 45-60g of carbs, well above the daily carb limit for keto. However, keto-friendly versions with almond flour crusts and sugar substitutes can be made.

Is strawberry pie healthy to eat regularly?

Strawberry pie is best enjoyed as an occasional treat rather than a regular part of a healthy diet. While the fresh strawberries provide vitamin C and antioxidants, the added sugar and buttery crust contribute to high calorie, refined carbohydrate, and fat content, which can be concerning if consumed frequently.

What is the recommended portion size for strawberry pie?

A recommended portion size is one-eighth of a standard 9-inch pie, which is approximately 100-150g per slice. To enjoy it as part of a balanced diet, pair it with a protein-rich or fiber-rich food to prevent blood sugar spikes.

How does strawberry pie compare to other fruit pies?

Strawberry pie often has fewer calories than cream-based pies like banana cream or chocolate pie but may contain more sugar compared to apple or blueberry pies. Its nutrient content is higher in vitamin C due to the strawberries, but overall it has a similar calorie and fat profile to most fruit pies.
