About Strawberry tart
Strawberry tart is a classic pastry dessert originating from French cuisine, combining a buttery shortcrust pastry with a creamy filling and fresh strawberry topping. Its key ingredients include strawberries, which are nutrient-dense, rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, alongside other components like cream, eggs, butter, and sugar. The tart provides a balance of carbohydrates, fats, and a small amount of protein while being relatively calorie-dense due to its pastry and filling. Depending on preparation, it also offers dietary fiber from strawberries and essential minerals such as manganese and potassium.
Health Benefits
- High vitamin C content in strawberries supports immune health and skin vitality, as 1 cup of strawberries provides 89% of the daily recommended intake.
- Rich in dietary antioxidants like anthocyanins and ellagic acid, strawberries can help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress.
- Potassium in strawberries (about 220 mg per cup) contributes to heart health by supporting healthy blood pressure levels.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store the tart in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days to maintain freshness. Avoid freezing as it may affect the texture of the pastry and strawberries.
