About Strawberry shaved ice

Strawberry shaved ice is a refreshing dessert made by finely shaving ice and topping it with strawberry syrup or real strawberry puree.

Strawberries are low in calories and rich in antioxidants such as vitamin C and flavonoids. On its own, this dessert is naturally fat-free and can be a healthier alternative when minimally sweetened, as strawberries contribute essential vitamins, fiber, and hydration.
